Description Christian Weiske 2007-01-18 09:45:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

The "mail" element in inetOrgPerson LDAP schema is multi-valued, allowing multiple email adresses to be stored in there. KAddressbook does display them correctly.

When saving an entry with multiple email addresses, only the first one is stored in the "mail" element, the others are lost.

I'm seeing this also in fedora 6. 

Connecting to a OpenLDAP directory and when i modify an entry it deletes all but the first value.

The bug is still present in KDE 3.5.6, kontact 1.2.4. 

Please note: As long as kontact is still open, it will correctly display all email addresses. However, when it is closed and restarted it will only display the first email address.

The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4.
Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.

Unfortunately, this is not a bug of kaddressbook, but of the underlying kdepimlibs. I assume that the fancy, new kaddressbook in KDE 4.4 will continue to use kdepimlibs and therefore run into the same situation again. 

I opened a bug report against kdepimlibs: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221447.
