Default [SOLVED] LDAP, thunderbird and Outlook

Hello everyone!

I had installed the latest OSE edition for debian on a chroot jail on Gentoo, and later on tried the NE always on the same machine.

I have tried the MAPI connector on a vmware install of win XP, and it works good.

But the problem arises when I try to use a linux mail client (Thunderbird) in order to sync the LDAP directory (GAL): Thunderbird silently refuses the connection, and the ldap account remains empty: search does not work, and browsing neither (I know this could be normal).

I have correctly added the account based on this thread, either on linux-thunderbird or winxp-outlook: the only difference is that outlook spits an error message (in italian, free translation) about beeing "Unable to connect to the LDAP server (81)". Checked
Code:
zmcontrol status
with my zimbra user in the chroot, all services running. Checked
Code:
telnet myhost 389
, it connects regularly. Can someone give a hand?

Thank you in advance, any further info I'll be glad to provide.
