I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I want to configure
openldap to support an Outlook 2003 address book where the user has
added some custom fields. This is more of an Outlook question
probably...

Here is what I've done if someone could tell me were to go after this
that would be great.

I've got the users Outlook 2003 address book in CSV format. It has
239 entries. Each record has 92 fields...

I have parsed the file into 239 files. From 1.ldif to 239.ldif where
each file contains...
Title: Dr
First Name: John
Middle Name: Jim
...etc...

I know there is white space, I will strip it and put the proper
location information at the top... but does someone know how or if
Outlook will understand the whitespace stripped headers? I get the
feeling that each client may need some kind of schema telling Outlook
what to look for and how to format it and maybe title it.

I'm very new to this any help, even the really obvious would be
appreciated.

Something else I am interested in is supported a mix of email clients,
with the ability to write. Is it possible to alias one value?
Separate question and not that important right now but I would love an
answer to that too.

Ah when you have no idea what your doing... It's working now.

I decided to use a sub set of the data for now with the following
object classes:

objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson

The cutting and pasting from the csv file was spared by Python which
I've never used before... but it was very easy.
