I appreciate the idea and functionality of OpneOffice.org very much.
However to replace a most dominant office suite provider, i have no
alternative for its outlook mail. Moreover, i loose my mail
archive/boxes and address book.
Is here something for OOo to entertain?
Thank you very much and success for an open world!

U are talking like there was no other email client in the landscape of
technology. Just because you are locked up in a proprietary mail
client doesn't mean you can't just switch to a free alternative like
Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Claws or million of other email clients.
Microsoft is far from inventing email, and so is far from inventing
email clients. So why you are sounding like there was no email client
beside outlook.

IMHO, there are two primary reasons for the lack of corporate OO
adoption. The OO suite has matured nicely and we will be seeing growth
in corporate adoption accelerate rapidly. However, this is also due to
the maturing of other core solutions like email, project management and
calendaring. I am a recent convert to Thunderbird/Lightning and have
not missed a beat.... However, this is the second attempt at ousting
Outlook and the first was obviously not successful. It is more
difficult introducing OO into the corporate market without a full
complement of "replacements". That has been a problem that is being
rectified nicely with the current releases. The other consideration is
compatibility, which is why the ODF movement is so important. This is
essential as a 99% inter-operable solution means one out of every 100
(documents, spreadsheets, presentations or projects) is not read by the
CEO. If that occurs on an important file.....IT folks will be running
for cover.....doesn't sound good but that is reality. The community is
doing a nice job with promotion now and with 450k hits to the OOo site
each week we will be seeing much more corporate penetration.
