505810 - Auto-completion of LDAP addresses incomplete if a person has more than one address

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 119199

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect)

Description

[Sven Flossmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090701 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5

If a person has more than one address, it would be very convenient, if thunderbird would offer this address as well.

Background:
There is a attribute mozillaSecondEmail in the mozillaOrgPerson, but using the mozillaOrgPerson in an standard directory is not a good idea. In most cases using inetOrgPerson is the better idea, especially other software is most probably supporting inetOrgPerson (e.g. horde).

Working with inetOrgPerson usually works fine with TB, except that only one email address is suggested when composing mails.

In inetOrgPerson, it is allowed to set more than one email attribute. If thunderbird displayed all email attributes and not just the first one, then the problem would be solved. 

I guess solving this issue would not be so complicated and also not breaking any compatibility issues.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up LDAP as completion.
2. Use an inetOrgPerson with multiple email attributes.
3. Compose an email to that person.


Actual Results:  
Only the first email address is offered as auto-completion.

Expected Results:  
All available addresses for that person should be offered.
