(Optional) Setting up MCC and District MEMO Email Directories
This section is here to provide instructions to set up the MCC and District LDAP Directories for those who want to be able to search for email addresses either directly or while composing an email. This is not required to be able to receive or send email so if you do not want this ability you can skip this section.
44. On the menu bar, click Window, then click Address Book
45. On the menu bar, click File, then point to New, then click on LDAP Directory
46. For the Name: field, type MCC Directory.
47. For the Hostname: field, type ldap.mc.maricopa.edu.
48. For the Base DN: field, type o=Mesa Community College,c=us.
49. Click OK
50. On the menu bar, click File, then point to New, then click on LDAP Directory
51. For the Name: field, type District Directory.
52. For the Hostname: field, type mcldap.maricopa.edu.
53. For the Base DN: field, type c=us.
54. Click OK
55. Back in the Address Window, click SeaMonkey on the menu bar, then click on Preferences
56. In the Address Autocompletion section, click on the Directory Server checkbox. When composing emails and typing in names in the To: and related fields, SeaMonkey will first search your Personal Address Book, then only the directory selected in the drop down box. For example, in the screenshot below, only the District Directory will get searched, the MCC Directory won't.
Note: This obviously does restrict what types of email address you can search from without going into the Preferences and changing the Directory searched. One thing to note, while the Add email addresses to my: checkbox is checked, any email addresses that you send out to will be added to your address book and will be searched for when you compose an email.
An alternative to this is set the directories for each account. The same limitation still applies, you can only choose one directory, so only your Address Book and directory will get searched, but it does allow one to, for example, search only for MCC email addresses while sending email from a MCC email account and for District email addresses while sending email from a District MEMO email account.
57. On the menu bar, click Edit. Then click Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings...
58. Under MCC Email, click on Composition & Addressing.
59. One the right hand side, under the Addressing section, for the heading When looking up addresses:, select the Use a different LDAP server: and click on the drop down and choose the directory you'd like to search while sending from your MCC email account.
60. Under District MEMO, click on Composition & Addressing.
61. One the right hand side, under the Addressing section, for the heading When looking up addresses:, select the Use a different LDAP server: and click on the drop down and choose the directory you'd like to search while sending from your District MEMO email account.
