that's not correct. if you want the user object of a LDAPUserFolder to 
have a specific attribute "x", then...

- the LDAP record schema for user records must have "x" as a valid 
attribute

- you must have "told" the user folder about the existence of the 
attribute in its LDAP schema configuration.

it's all easy to do and yes, most "person"-type records in LDAP carry 
some attribute specifically for storing email addresses, but there is 
no such thing as certain attributes "out of the box".
