Put simply, it is far easier, both in terms of manpower and in lines of coding, to maintain an interface between popular mailers such as Mozilla Thunderbird than to devise and manage a new one in the OpenOffice.org code. At least that is the way I see it. :)

But from the enterprise point of view an email/schedule application is integral part of office suite. Thunderbird is not so good for enterprise like usage as Evolution. Evolution can connect to the main enterprise collaboration servers like Exchange and Groupwise. I am using it as Groupwise client and it has lots of working functionality. Thunderbird IHMO designed to home users, but of course try to remove gaps for enterprises, but currently it is not ready to take over in all areas.

Hi,

I am not worried about which application is used in conjunction with OOo. It can be Thunderbird, or if you want something with more grunt, then use Evolution - my point still stands. There are already developers working on making "the other mail application" a great program for users, so OOo developers do not need to start another one. A simple interface that is able to be used by other mail programs would allow any of them to be utilised and mean less development/management overall for the OOo developers, but still offer the "integrated" mail features.

Jonathon
