I added the following code to imp/lib/db.mysql that works:

function imp_get_fullname ($user, $server) {
        global $_imp_fullname, $default;

        if (isset($_imp_fullname)) return $_imp_fullname;

	/* check the name on LDAP server */
        if(isset($default->ldap_server)) {
                $ldapconnect = ldap_connect($default->ldap_server);
                if($ldapconnect) {
                        $ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconnect);
                        $ldapsearch =
ldap_search($ldapconnect,$default->ldap_dn,                        $values =
ldap_get_entries($ldapconnect,$ldapsearch);
                        $_imp_fullname =
$values[0][$default->ldap_user_fullname_                } else {
                        $_imp_fullname = false;
                }
        }

/* the rest of the code ( imp_get_addresses() ) */
