I don't mind if all the address books are combined on my mobile device  
at the moment. I have another LDAP source which I may add to the  
syncing list that has over 500 entries, so I may seperate them then.  
One of the contact lists is in my personal address book which I have  
full read/write access to, so rights shouldn't be a problem. The other  
LDAP source of groups is only writeable by my uid so that I can  
administer it for the rest of my users (who have only read access).

Indeed, the GAL is set to my LDAP address book of other system users,  
and other users' photo's etc come down to my phone.

I think the problem may be to do with Turba and LDAP, but I'm not sure.

The contact list I added to my personal LDAP address book (which works  
as expected through IMP), I cannot find if I browse my LDAP directory  
manually using a web-based GUI (LAM). I also don't see it in the SQL  
tables anywhere. There is no entry under my LDAP uid tree of  
'personal_addressbook' for the contact list I create. I've uncommented  
the 'turbaType and turbaMembers' mappings in my turba config and the  
contact lists add fine with no error and they are retrievable via IMP  
and turba in the web gui, but not via ActiveSync.

Does ActiveSync go through Turba to retrieve address book entries, or  
does it query the source itself?

Many thanks,

Tim
