Hello,
I have test thunderbird 2/3.
I got some problem with LDAP address book.
1.It's can't download to offline address book.
   I have test online search is ok.
   But offline download will show "Replication failed"
2.It's some filed can't show on LDAP address book.
   example:
   one user is abc and he is IT manager.
   So,I will create (IT_SE) Abc at Active Directory of show name
   It's will show (IT_SE) Abc on MS OUTLOOK Address book.
   This is will easy to find user on Outlook Address book.
   But thunderbird only show Abc.
   It,s can't show (IT_SE) Abc.
   Is this bug?
   Please check it.
3.At outlook.
   If user email filed is empty on Active Directory.
   MS Outlook use LDAP connect to AD will not show in Address book.
   But Thunderbird will show it.
   If this user havn't email address.
   Why need show it?
   Please check it.
Thanks a lot.

Reproducible: Always

About offline address book.
I have two question.
1.I have test more.
   In LDAP Base DN filed.
   If my domain name is abc.com and all user in different OU.
   So, all users not in abc.com tree OU.
   example:
   I am akong and I live in IT's OU
   So, I will live CN=akong,OU=IT,DC=abc,DC=com
   If I filed DC=abc,DC=com at BASEDN.
   Download offline will show Replication failed
   If I filed OU=IT,DC=abc,DC=com
   Download is successed.
   How to setup can download successed if I filed DC=abc,DC=com on BASE DN?
2.Offline address book.
   Where download it?
   I can't found on address book.
   Could I download to thunderbird to use it?
   I need like MS outlook LDAP address book function.
   Thanks a lot.
