Try changing the port number from 25 to 465: Tools|Options|Internet|OpenOffice.org Writer|Mail Merge E-Mail However, I'd be careful in using this 'Mail Merge E-Mail" feature. While looking for an answer to your problem I found that if you configure/enter your email password in the Server Authentication portion, the password is *stored in the clear in the Writer.xcu file*: <prop oor:name="MailPassword" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>thisisyouremailpasswordintheclear</value> The password is *not* encrypted on the system and the Writer.xcu file contains sufficient sufficient information (username, password, email address, etc) that I suspect it can be a very easy security target. Under XP Pro, the OpenOffice.org Writer.xcu is located in C:\Documents and Settings\My Username\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Writer.xcu Under most *NIX operating systems, Writer.xcu is located in $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu If I get some time later I'll search/file this as a bug & security risk. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
