I'm considering using Open Office as I just purchased a laptop that runs
Vista, and MS Office 2007 is ridiculously expensive.
Here is the question - I've used Ms Outlook as my e-mail client for
years.
Does Open Office have something similar? I did not see anything
mentioned in
the product list. Or are you aware of another free, or cheap
alternative to
outlook that would be compatible with Open Office?
Thank you.
OpenOffice does not include an email program. However, it works well
with Thunderbird, which can be downloaded for free from
www.mozilla.com. While you're there, you might also want to get
Firefox, which is an excellent browser, so you can avoid using Internet
Explorer.
Best combo ever, OpenOffice.org, Thunderbird with Lightning Extension,
and FireFox. With the right set up, you can create a dual boot system
with Win and Ubuntu (pick your Linux Distro) and have the suites
perfectly synchronized with one another on either side of your dual boot.
