Thunderbird's support for LDAP is kind of shakey at the moment. First
off it can only read. Second ... even if you use the correct schema ...
I used the one here:

http://www.netpress.com/mozilla/ab2ldap_1/mozilla_op20.schema

Thunderbird doesn't correctly see all of the attributes. Even if you
export the addressbook entry to ldif ... and load that straight into
LDAP it won't read fields that were previously present.

From reading that bug report it does appear to be getting attention.
