So, does anyone even use ldap for a email address book (with any email client)? How do you use that/make it work?
I use Zarafa & Z-Push and use the addressbook of Zarafa's WebApp webclient or the one in Thunderbird. I use those addressbooks in a basic way (no groups, lists, etc). I made them work by configuring Zarafa so it uses OpenLDAP and in Thunderbird I use the Z-Sync add-on which syncs with Z-Push. It's been quite stable for me for the past years. On my GSM I use the Touchdown client. All communications are via TLS/SSL with client cert auth enforced.
Thanks again for your suggestions, I will look into sogo at some stage, but my current readings suggested it was not a stable platform to try to use daily in a company environment... Even though carddav would work nicely on the mobiles.
AFAIK SoGo is production ready as are Zarafa and Zimbra and AFAIK they all support LDAP. Worth a look.
