Hi,

I setup my Nokia N85 to sync to my horde Addressbook.
For the addressbook, I use an LDAP backend with a schema of  
nokiaperson I created myself.

When I loaded my N85 users to the empty LDAP addressbook, I had one  
major problem. In case of spaces in the first name like in this data  
example:

Firstname = Core Mattias
Lastname = Verbruggen

in LDAP this became

cn = Core
sn = Mattias

and the data for lastname was gone.
This only happens when syncing because the LDAP address book from  
within Turba handles spaces in the firstnames just fine.

When I resynced afterwards (but changing the protocol from 1.2 to 1.1  
on the phone), this doubled the number of addressbook entries in my  
phone.  Syncing again started tripling the data.
In horde on the other hand, only 10 entries were added unwanted  
compared to 500 in my phone.

Spaces in address entries did not cause troubles.

Now that I cleaned up my data without having any more spaces in  
firstnames, everything works fine.
I would love to help you testing this problem out by adding spaces  
again to my firstname fields.

gr,

Willem
