When I go to "Contacts" in IMP, it brings up a "Directory Search" window
which I believe is part or Turba. The results allow me to send that
person mail, but not add them to my personal address book (when I'm
searching an LDAP server that is not my address book).

How about every time there is more then one entry that matches, lets
say I look for Dave, that will not work, but when I enter Daves last
name it does work. The problem is I may not remember Daves last name or
how to spell it. I was wondering if there was a way to to scroll through
your personal address book while in the compose window. Also if I'm
replying or forwarding an email, I can't really use the Contacts button.
