Re: [libreoffice-users] Feature Request :Evolution

Hi :)
If you are on Windows then it would be nice to know if LibreOffice works with 
"The Bat" in the same way.  I'm not sure if it's free (and it's not OpenSource) 
but it's an excellent and very sophisticated email client.  It's not a step 
upwards from Outlook tho.  More like a giant leap forwards apparently.
Regards from
Tom :)

There are a range of free and open source email clients. Even mail servers. 
Evolution is just one.

I am like Tom and use Thunderbird. I use it for email and maintaining my 
calendar. I personally use TaskCoach for my Task Lists.

If I open LibreOffice Writer and select Send > Document as Email,
the package opens a new email in Thunderbird. It is a matter of just setting the 
Email client in the Internet Options section of the LO preferences. In fact I 
did not even do this. When I installed LO it extracted the email client name 
from the system for me but there is always an option to change my preference if 
I updated by email client.

Some good email clients are available for windows and linux. The absence of a 
client in the office suite should not cause anyone from not taking up LO. If you 
company needs alternatives simply search for free and open source email clients 
and review the results.

A good start...
