I recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro from Vista Home Premium.
Every time I try to send a document from Open Office by e-mail, a
drop down tells me that I have to establish an association with my
mail program. I have tried Xfinity, which is my mail service at
mail.comcast.net, Open Office on line help and Windows and have
gotten no answer as how to do this. When I check my File Explorer
and Programs, I find no program named Xfinity or Comcast mail.
You appear to be using Zimbra as your mail client - the local
program on your PC in which you compose messages and which
transmits them to your mail provider, Comcast. If this is so, you
should be looking to associate OpenOffice with Zimbra, not with
Xfinity or Comcast. OpenOffice should use your default e-mail
program, so you may need to educate Windows 8 as to what this is.
Won't work, Brian. Zimbra's browser-based. From the VMware site:
"VMware Zimbra is an enterprise-class email, calendar and
collaboration solution, built for the cloud, both public and
private. With a redesigned browser-based interface, Zimbra offers
the most innovative messaging experience available today, connecting
end users to the information and activity in their personal clouds."
OpenOffice wants a dedicated mail client like T-bird, Outlook, or
Apple's Mail.
That's the Zimbra Collaboration Server. The web site also says, of
Zimbra Desktop:
"The free Zimbra Desktop client delivers a consistent user experience
offline, so email, voice, social, calendar, contacts, files and
documents are synchronized and locally accessible when on the road."
- and under Key features:
"Read email from any POP or IMAP email account including AOL, Hotmail
or business email"
It seems to me that this version is a PC client. But yes, it may be
that the questioner is using the browser-based version - in which
case, as you say, OpenOffice will have no way to speak to it.
