Directory Search (Mac) - Configuring Apple Mail 10.9 for White Pages
This document contains instructions on using a non-Microsoft email client, such as Apple Mail or Thunderbird. Microsoft does not recommend these clients for use with Office 365, and there are often significant limitations in client functionality as a result. Because of this, the DoIT Help Desk is only able to offer best effort support for these clients, and certain issues may require the use of a Microsoft client in order to be resolved. For more information on Office 365 client support, please see: Office 365 - Which clients/protocols will be supported?.Best Effort Support Only

If another account is already selected in the left column, click the plus sign
icon in the bottom-left corner of the left column to begin adding a new account. Scroll to the bottom of the list of account types in the right column. Select Add Other Account.
Choose Add an LDAP account and click Create.
A blank form will open for you to add the LDAP account's configuration settings. To configure the UW-Madison Directory (White Pages), fill in the information as shown below. Once you have input the configuration information, click Create.
- Description: Directory Search
- Search base: dc=wisc, dc=edu

Your newly-configured UW-Madison Directory (White Pages) account should appear in the left-hand column of the Internet Accounts window. The account details will appear in the right-hand column.
