Comment 48 for bug 320057

From a user interface perspective it is most annoying that the LDAP lookup is not asynchronous in relation to the rest of the application. Is there a chance that we see a re-entrant address-lookup (meaning that the user can type in a list of names, and can choose afterwards to select the best match? The message wouldn't be sent until all conflicts are resolved, but the user can work in her/his own pace...
Alternatively would it be possible to cache the LDAP information for the addressbook?
