ActiveSync requires distinct fields for the name parts. Your ldap is  
probably only providing the 'name' attribute - which is mapped to the  
'fileas' attribute in ActiveSync. Same issue for addresses, you might  
be providing only a single address field - which ActiveSync doesn't  
parse.

Looks like we might need to add some best-guess parsing in these  
cases, similar to what we do with vCards exported from Turba.
