It sounds like mozg31337 and Userx have different issues.
mozg's issue sounds like one of configuration. If GAL is not displaying from the dropdown, that sounds as the address book may not be configured right. This could be because some other software (Groupwise?) was left over and borked something. I did look in mozg's log file, and I see GAL queries happening, but nothing ever being added to the GAL. I wonder if there is a problem with the .idm (mapper) file. You could try deleting that and doing it again. This log shows a delta sync. What happens on an initial sync (new profile)?
Userx's issue is more familiar in one sense -- where the GAL doesn't show up immediately. Depending on the size, an initial sync of the GAL can take awhile. I have also noticed that the GAL used to show up more quickly -- now it seems to take awhile. Generally, forcing the update (Tools->Send Receive->Global Address List-> Update Global Address List) gets it to show up. The weird part is after restarting the GAL was not visible. For that, I would like to see some logs.  |
