Title: Thunderbird address book won't use socks to access ldap server Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird I have a number of Ubuntu systems on a private lan, behind a socks firewall. When I use thunderbird I set the network connections to use socks, and give it the correct name and port number. Thunderbird itself works fine, I can send and receive email without problems. However when I configure the ldap server to use with thethunderbird address book, thunderbird will not resolve any ldap names to email addresses. I have double checked and I'm sure that the ldap settings are correct. I sniffed the network during an exchange and I can see that normal thunderbird traffic being sent via socks. However I can see that thunderbird is trying to send the ldap traffic directly to the ldap server, not via socks. I include a wireshark screenshot showing what is happening. This is Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, and Ubuntu 8.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/243578/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
