Thank you! It was my commands that was wrong. This search term worked:
ldapsearch -b dc=example,dc=org -s base -D 
'uid=username,ou=People,dc=example,dc=org' -h 127.0.0.1 -x -w 'password''

You are right about that.

I see my questions was poorly written. The only thing that actually works, 
across all platforms, are my mails. I can send/recieve from Roundcube, 
Kontact, Android, Outlook 2013 (using Activesync) and any other mail client 
(using IMAP). 
(Allthough in Kmail I had to change the SMTP port to 587 (The autosetup had 
chosen 465, without me knowing why). Thank you Sven Gehr, for pointing that 
out to me.) 

Contacts and calendars, on the other hand, behaves very odd. They work as 
expected on Android and in Outlook, but barely (or not at all) in Roundcube 
and Kontact...
