5.8.2 Searching contacts via the LDAP directory service
MS Outlook allows searching in contacts via the LDAP service. The LDAP directory service
allows searching of user information (email addresses, above all), as well as automatic filling

MS Outlook use the LDAP service to access contacts stored in Kerio MailServer.
