Description Robert Markula 2010-03-14 17:05:50 UTC 
Evolution does not support the 'givenName' LDAP attribute when using an LDAP addressbook. This renders the use of LDAP-based addressbooks somehow useless, because (1) most other LDAP-Clients support this field (2) Evolution can't write to an already present LDAP addressbook entry that contains this attribute.

This is a real pity since Evolution is one of the few FOSS LDAP clients who can also write to LDAP.

Found an equivalent older bug, so closing this one as a duplicate.  Would you mind posting the patch you emailed to me privately to bug #271193?
