LDAP stands for "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol". It is a means by which you can access remote address books from within your email client. Now, your can outsource your email and still have shared address book access from your email clients.

Available to all LuxSci users, the LDAP Address Book Service is compatible with many e-mail clients - including Eudora, Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, Thunderbird and Pine - and allows read-only, searchable access to all subscribed address books.

Features of LuxSci LDAP access include:

• Access multiple address books: You can subscribe to any number of address books; all subscribed address books will be accessible through your LDAP connection. I.e., this could include your personal address book, your shared corporate address book, and others.
  
  
• Compatible: LDAP is available in many different email clients. We provide explicit instructions for setting it up in clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Eudora, and Pine. General instructions are available for setting it up in other clients.
  
  
• Search: LDAP supports searching your address books by many different fields.
  
  
• Access Auditing: View reports listing all of your successful and unsuccessful LDAP accesses.
• Secure: We provide secure LDAP (LDAPS) access over SSL for clients, like Mozilla Thunderbird, that support this.
  
  
• Read Only: LDAP access is read only.
