But ... since we're in the FYI department: The program will still cleanly open your currently installed email client and allow you to send mails. So no, a mail client isn't integrated into OO.o, but IMO it's no big deal since it can be aware of any currently installed client as near as I can tell. I've only ever used it with OE; the rest is actually just conjecture on my part. AFAIK you can't read e-mails with OO.o, so possibly that is what a lot of people miss, but ... . Personally, due to the number of ymmv issues and opinions over email clients I'd think an integrated email function might not get a lot of use without having a gazillion setup options.
