   Netscape 4.61 (communicator) lets you *search* LDAP databases but you cannot
   under any circumstances add to it from your email client.  <sigh>  I've
   given up and added a quick and dirty PHP-based entry sheet at
   http://www.mixdown.org/ldap.  Source is available and free but it's hardly a
   "polished" project.
   
   I looked all over for a chunk of software that would add entries to a
   directory "nicely" (i.e. so that the average user could use it) but couldn't
   find a thing, so I designed one.
   
You could always take something like GQ (http://biot.com/gq/) and add in what
you need.
