Configuring > How to Configure LDAP Lookup for Outlook Express
What is LDAP and what is it used for?
LDAP stands for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and is used to
look up names and contact information for people in the directory. You can
use it to lookup the contact information for your professors or teaching
assistants or even fellow students depending on their privacy settings.
How do I use LDAP with Outlook Express?
Luckily, you can use LDAP from Outlook Express to look up names and
e-mail address and even add them into your local address book. You can
also look online here - https://www.mtu.edu/mtuldap/web_lookup/.
