Judi <snip> Not really. OpenOffice doesn't have a mail/calendar system. I use Outlook Express for mail but a Palm PDA for calendar, addresses etc. so I'm not the right person to ask. There's a free integrated solution named Evolution which you can get at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=159440&package_id=1943 80&release_id=429758. I've never used it but I hear good things about it. Evolution is originally a Linux product. The main page which leads to support groups etc. is at http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/ There's also a mail client named Thunderbird which is complemented by something called Lightning for calendars etc. I tried Thunderbird. Many people in this support group rave about it. I wouldn't touch it again with a sterilised barge pole but, in the word of the prophet, YMMV. Thunderbird is at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/. Lightning is at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Lightning Harold Fuchs London, England -- No virus found in this incoming message.
