I will try that. But I still have the feeling there must be a "better" way of doing it, and I just don't know it...

So I tried to just delete cosine under cn=config, but that doesn't work. The log shows

    DEL dn="cn={1}cosine,cn=schema,cn=config"
    RESULT tag=107 err=53 text=

and my LDAP browser gives an "Unwilling to Perform" error.

I also tried to remove the apple schema which I had added at one point but don't need any more, and never actually used. Same error.

Looking at the core schema, yes I do see 'mail' in there. However, I cannot populate it. The log shows:

    MOD attr=mail
    RESULT tag=103 err=65 text=attribute 'mail' not allowed

So 'mail' is indeed in core, but cannot be used. Maybe because inetOrgPerson is also part of the schemas?
