Hi. I'm a dedicated follower of open source. I have been a devoted open office user for years never did like any application with the letters ms in front of it. Now I converted all my machines to libre office but for emails I used to use thunderbird on windows but the last version that updated on my windows machines is rubish and won't run. I now use evolution on my linux machines and until evolution for windows improves sufficiently I simply will not use windows for emails at all. Except this smart phone--HTC touch pro 2-- Evolution email imports all calenda and contact info from outlook with no problems. Try it. It is a great companion to libre office. And it's open source. Although Libre Office and evolution could help each other in developing shared interactivity. From Bruce Carlson.

To clear up an incorrect impression I seem to have created, I'm not a M$ Office user, haven't ever been, except when I've been forced into it at some particular site where I've been on contract. As a Virtual Access user I'm... Shall we say "underwhelmed" by Outlook, of any variety. And in fact most M$ s/w. The purpose behind my suggestion was primarily to offer a route to strengthen the LO package. I agree that it is silly for people to expect LO/OO to be an exact replacement for M$O, but it seems to me that covering the same bases that M$O does would make LO a far more attractive, and easier, step to take for the mainstream. LO/OO/Linux not offering that *easy* step is of course (?) why they still have so much "scope for expansion". I thought I had seen a statement on the LO website which amounted to a claim to match M$O, but I can't find it now so I might've made it up, sorry. It's true that Outlook isn't really "integrated" into the other packages, in fact it seems to me the LO/OO suite is far better integrated, however that's not the point I wanted to make. It's the fact that LO doesn't offer anything in the email category. I agree that using something already existing would be a smart move. It only needs to install it, if that... I just wanna change the world so that those small communities and passionate individuals really make a wide scale difference, just a small step. :-) Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
