HI :) I think Thunderbird rather than Evolution. Or even Claws! I have been struggling with Evolution at work for last couple of weeks. Admittedly i haven't been able to focus on it. The Evo mailing lists have a few mentions that Thunderbird and even Claws would have been much easier to get working with an MS Exchange Server. There has just been a new release of Evo but they need more devs to iron out bugs and stuff i think. We might need to see if we can push some of the new LO devs into helping at Evo. Their documentation makes LO's look very solid and well finished (including the Base Guide!). I really hope Thunderbird is better! Otherwise it might be worth ignoring the email side of things!

Well, Andrew Pitonyak has written "OOo Macros Explained" and is, I believe, working on an update to that book, probably with a more generic title.

Hmmm, yes, that is something many people want to do, isn't it? I never think of that, since I would never use a word processor to write email, though I know others do. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
