Thunderbird Address books used to be available in OOo on Mac OSX as a source for defining the AddressBook to be used in Writer. This functionality is no longer available, and was never released in any of the LibO versions to date. NeoOffice currently provides access to : MySQL(ODBC) MySQL(JDBC) Oracle JDBC Spreadsheet dBase Text JDBC ODBC Mozilla Address Book Thunderbird Address Book LDAP Address Book Mac OSX Address Book Mysql(Native) LibreOffice 3.4 only has : JDBC Oracle JDBC Mac OSX Address Book Spreadsheet dBase Text MySQL(ODBC) MySQL(JDBC) MySQL(Native) ODBC Why the difference ? Why shun the availabilities that other platforms have ? I consider this a regression. If one takes LDAP alone, MacOSX server provides LDAP services out of the box. This now means that LibreOffice does not offer the capability to define an LDAP datasource in Writer for the AddressBook that Mac OS sysadmins will have setup on their networks. The same applies for Thunderbird/Mozilla address books. Thunderbird must be the most frequently used mail application outside of Mail.app on the Mac platform. Alex
This is inherited, see http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91209 and search for 91209 in the source. This may be out of date now, try re-enabling it in connectivity, and in scp2, for MacOSX and report back if it works.
Excellent, thanks Caolan. Will take a look. Alex

@ Alex Thurgood Still reproducible?
this is actually a Base problem, and would need somebody with a Mac to investigate; the internal Mozilla was updated since this address book support was disabled, perhaps it would work today?

Hi Michael, As far as I know, the official builds do not include either LDAP or Mozilla/TB address book support, so perhaps Norbert might like to reconsider providing a build with them in ? However, I will check later on today with a 3.6 RC. Alex
Confirming that there is neither LDAP nor MozTB address book support in the latest Mac OSX daily builds. Alex
Ldap is still not present in 4.2.4 but Thunderbird/Icedove is present
The only one missing today 17/09/2014 is LDAP.
Alex: on pc Debian x86-64 with 4.3.2 Debian package, I don't have LDAP now. I don't know if it's normal but, if it is, could we consider this bug as WFM now?
Stephan: I noticed this commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0b21dd2593fae41ee430717d7d65e2cfca25b8e9, can/should we enable LDAP on MacOs?
Adding self to CC if not already on
As also mentioned in comment 1, this was already the case in 3.3.0, hence not a regression with respect to LibreOffice -> Version: Inherited from OOo -> Removed Keywords: regression and Whiteboard: bibisected35 bibisected35older
Ok, so let's close this as wfm
