My company runs internal e-mail-traffic using Outlook 365. I prefer using a proper e-mail client (in my case: thunderbird) via IMAP and SMTP, which is no problem since the server adresses are provided in the Outlook 365 settings dialogue.
Now, I would also like to be able to use the contacts directory set up by the company. I presume the proper way to include such a contacts directory into thunderbird is using LDAP; however, it seems to me that there is no official LDAP address.
Is there an LDAP access to Office 365 contact directories, and where can I find its address?

2@Appleoddity It has a bit of irony that you posted your overly emotional comment using two technologies over 25yrs old themselves, namely HTTP and HTML :). Your comment does not explain why an IMAP-setup should not be doing today what it does since 30yrs. Of course, I do not ask how to connect Thunderbird to all those Exchange-specific features. – Bubaya – 2017-12-30T08:01:16.793
2I think this is a good question. IMAP is standardized and widely supported across many platforms as well as programs, as well as SMTP. – Guido Leenders – 2018-02-12T07:28:31.853
This is possible and the question/answer here addresses it: https://superuser.com/questions/801831/can-imap-clients-read-my-contacts-from-office-365

We'd like LDAP access to Exchange/Azure AD online for a different but similar reason - to automatically populate a list of "Scan to email" contacts on an HP printer. To prevent having to add them manually – munrobasher – 2019-05-30T11:29:03.783
