IMP 3: How do we set global defaults for "Expand Names"??

[Walter R. Moore]

I have been trolling this list on MARC for a fix to this with none seen yet.

One of the biggest barriers we face before we can adopt IMP 3 is the 
behavior of Turba with IMP. In IMP 2.x you automatically had access to 
LDAP and your own addressbook. in 3.0, that is gone and by default 
Expand names does not by default look at any of the address books you 
have defined. This means that 99% of our user base will not figure out 
or bother with changing this in their IMP options.

I would like to either make these "on" by default, or to lock the 
preference if need be to make them on for everyone.

The lack of a contacts button seems like a bad idea; I suggest the 
patches suggested to return it be merged in to the next release.

Also aparently gone? is the ability to add names found in LDAP to your 
SQL addressbook.

Thanks for any suggestions,
-Walter Moore
