KAddressBook can automatically parse a name into its parts; to make sure this works in many cases you can add, here, additional name parts, like prefixes, suffixes and inclusions.
Here you can manage name prefixes, like 'Prof.' or 'Dr.'.
Here you can manage name inclusions, like 'van' or 'von', which are often part of Dutch or German names.
Here you can manage name suffixes like 'Sr.' or 'Jr.'.
Here you can select the default type of formatted names to be used for new contacts.
On this page you can configure the LDAP servers that should be used for ldap queries in KAddressBook.
Use Add Host... to add and setting up a new server. You can include and exclude servers by selecting or deselecting their check boxes in the server list. Press OK to close the dialog.
