Hello Mark,

Thank you for your input.

We have partnered with another project, Mozilla, with the agreement that they provide an email client, web browser and calendar and we provide an office suite.

The reason for this is that we simply don't have the resources to maintain an email client. Also, email clients are very different from the other components we have at OpenOffice.org. So, if we tried to maintain one, we would just produce a mediocre email client attached to a mediocre office suite. This doesn't make sense, when Mozilla has already made an excellent email client and is making good progress towards a calendar.

Please use those.

Go to http://www.mozilla.org and download "Thunderbird".


Best, Daniel Carrera. OpenOffice.org volunteer.


FYI, the Mozilla folks have another project in the works called "Lightening" which is supposed to tightly integrate the Sunbird calendar/task manager into Thunderbird. It's presently at the pre-Alpha stage (working up the program specs, etc.), but it will eventually totally address the needs of Outlook users.


They don't have a formal time-table, but I would expect to see some preliminary code sometime in 2005.

Rod
