This is a clone of bug #70524, which I have just encountered on my machine. Basically, when I add an LDAP server, it does not appear in the list after I click OK. Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. Get the LDAP add dialog (thru address book, preferences or account settings) 2. Enter values (I am using those from http://dit.epfl.ch/page74759.html) 3. Press OK 4. Be amazed when you realise that the server has not been added anywhere! mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird: Installed versions: 2.0.0.19(13:17:53 01/07/09) (crypt gnome linguas_en linguas_en_GB xinerama) Addons: - Enigmail 0.95.7 - ImportExportTools (Mboximport enhanced) 2.1.2 - New Mail Icon 1.2.4 - Remove Duplicate Messages (Alternate) 0.3.1 ============= emerge --info ============= Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.28-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-gentoo-i686-Genuine_Intel-R-_CPU_T2300_@_1.66GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:45:01 +0000 distcc 3.0 i686-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r14, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.8 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/4.0/env /usr/kde/4.0/share/config /usr/kde/4.0/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/var/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ " LANG="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_GB en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aalib acl acpi alsa apache apache2 avi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cd cdda cddb cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus directfb divx dri dts dvd dvdr encode ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gif gnome gnome-keyring gpm gtk hal ht iconv ieee1394 injection isdnlog java6 jpeg lirc lm_sensors mad midi mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nptolonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia nvtv ogg oggvorbis opengl openmp pam pcmcia pcre perl php png portage pppd python qt3support qt4 readline reflection samba session smp spl sse sse2 ssl svg synaptics sysfs tcpd threads thunderbird tiff truetype udev unicode upnp v4l v4l2 vcd vorbis wep wireless wma wpa x264 x86 xcb xinerama xorg xulrunner xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="synaptics evdev keyboard mouse wacom" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vmware" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Try with USE="ldap"?
