If I remember well, this can be the error if the python ldap library 
isn't installed. I suppose you had to upgrade python to 2.4.2. Could 
you have forgotten this ?

To check, launch the python interpreter, and type 'import ldap'. You 
should see a warning in the startup logs as well.

Otherwise, launch Zope in debug mode. Do you get an error ?

As far as CPSMailAccess is concerned, it can't work right away with 
CPSLDAPSetup, because of some dependency problems between profiles 
(nothing a configuration expert couldn't overcome). I'm working on 
this, but this is not my #1 priority at this time.

Out of curiosity, do your users have several email addresses in the 
LDAP directory ?

Good luck,
