You can only use mail as attribute if you defined the objectclass
inetOrgPerson. For which you need to add the inetorgperson.schema as well
to your configuration.

I find grep a great tool to find such issues in the schema files. Just
goto the schema directory and type:
	grep -n mail *.schema|grep -v :# > mail-in-schema

And then read the mail-in-schema file to find the references of your
attribute.
