RE: [libreoffice-users] Has it all except ... #2

Hi.
I'm a dedicated follower of open source. I have been a devoted open office user for years never did 
like any application with the letters ms in front of it. Now I converted all my machines to libre 
office but for emails I used to use thunderbird on windows but the last version that updated on my 
windows machines is rubish and won't run. I now use evolution on my linux machines and until 
evolution for windows improves sufficiently I simply will not use windows for emails at all. Except 
this smart phone--HTC touch pro 2-- Evolution email imports all calenda and contact info from 
outlook with no problems. Try it. It is a great companion to libre office. And it's open source. 
Although Libre Office and evolution could help each other in developing shared interactivity.

Bruce Carlson.

Hi,

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

To clear up an incorrect impression I seem to have created, I'm not a 
M$ Office user, haven't ever been, except when I've been forced into 
it at some particular site where I've been on contract.  As a Virtual 
Access user I'm... Shall we say "underwhelmed" by Outlook, of any 
variety.  And in fact most M$ s/w.

The purpose behind my suggestion was primarily to offer a route to 
strengthen the LO package.  I agree that it is silly for people to 
expect LO/OO to be an exact replacement for M$O, but it seems to me 
that covering the same bases that M$O does would make LO a far more 
attractive, and easier, step to take for the mainstream.  LO/OO/Linux 
not offering that *easy* step is of course (?) why they still have so 
much "scope for expansion".

I thought I had seen a statement on the LO website which amounted to 
a claim to match M$O, but I can't find it now so I might've made it 
up, sorry.

It's true that Outlook isn't really "integrated" into the other 
packages, in fact it seems to me the LO/OO suite is far better 
integrated, however that's not the point I wanted to make.  It's the 
fact that LO doesn't offer anything in the email category.  I agree 
that using something already existing would be a smart move.  It only 
needs to install it, if that...

I just wanna change the world so that those small communities and 
passionate individuals really make a wide scale difference, just a 
small step. :-)
