If you have configured several calendars in your exchange account, some of 
them may not appear. If it is the case, go to the calendar, rightclick in the 
resource, calendar_properties, and add, for each calendar missing, a caldav 
with address:

http://localhost:1080/users/yourname@yo ... /calendar/mycalendarname.

The same may happen here, if you have several address books in the server and 
not all of them appear, add them as

http://localhost:1080/users/yourname@yo ... /contacts/myaddressbookname

Some time ago I was not able to make LDAP gatway working, now it does!

In addition to be able to search while composing mail, you can also click on 
the "import from LDAP server" in the addressbook window. You may have to add 
the button in "configure toolbars" if it is not there.

You will get the same query window, but it allows to save the items in a local 
addressbook.
