OOo/LibO has options to talk to e-mail programs.
IMHO adding yet another (almos unrelated) program to an already huge
office suite would be a bad move. I guess then people would "gravitate
back to MS" because either: a) OOo is too "heavy" or b) they don't
like the bundled e-mail client.
We use both MSO and LibO... MSO in most cases is "preferred" because it
start faster. We have also some programs that generate doc documents
with a collage process. In this case we should convert all procedures
for the odt. The sysadmin mantra say: "is working? don't touch it !" ...
I introduced a lot of open source software in the company with good
results :) but in some fields there is much resistance to change
(understandable)
Besides, I can't see why the lack of full e-mail functionality in OOo
is keeping one tied with Microsoft products. Just install Thunderbird
or Evolution and off you go.
Perhaps the question is "how can I have all the features that MS
Outlook offers with free/libre programs ?".
Just as an example, Mozilla Thunderbird + Lightning gives you e-mail,
calendar, alarms, periodic reminders, todo-lists ("activities"). You
can have multiple calendars, too, including remote ones.
Many users have changed Outlook 2000 with Thunderbird 3.1.x ... and now
are happy TB users :)
