For record, StarOffice 5.2 has a very capable e-mail client and

I don't know why it was dropped, but what about to bring it back? I
think it would be nice a integrated e-mail and collaboration software.
Sun has put programmers into the Thunderbird and Lightning projects.
This should increase connectivity between the OO.o and Mozilla projects
over time even though the programming models differ.

However, that does not address either of the two questions;
1. Why was Star Office 5.2 "dropped"?
and,
2. Why not revive Star Office 5.2?
Surely, Sun could consider this?
I am aware of a later version of Star Office; Star Office 6.0, but that
version had much of the functionality of Star Office 5.2 removed, and
was merely a commercial version of Open Office..
Unfortunately, from memory, it was a result of Sun taking over Star
Software, or whatever the company that produced Star Office was named,
that Star Office 5.2, and its functionality, was dumped.
Perhaps, if a representative of Sun is subscribed to this mailing list,
that person (or, if applicable, those people) could answer the two
questions above.
