Description of Problem:

Evolution does not work with our corporate ldap server. It connects
fine and can find "possible search bases" in the 'add server' dialog.
But when quering, not matter whitch fields it returns nothing.
The search completes instantly (read: I can see somthing flashing by
in the statusbar. But this is shown in a fraction of a second).
Further, after clearing the search a message is spawned saying:
"Unable to perform search-->This Query did not complete successfully"

The odd thing is that all other mailclients i've tried work perfectly.
I have this issue since version 2.0 and have had it also with the 
development releases i've tried - in the hope this would be solved.
I'am using Gnome and would really love to use evolution with our
corporate addressbook.

I'll paste "debugging" information under the addid. info section below.



Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add an ldap server in contacts and search for existing contacts.
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

All ldap searches results are empty, while with other ldap
clients same searches result in found items.

Expected Results:

ldap search should return entries queried for.
How often does this happen? 

All the time.
