I have a Google mail account Gmail using Pop3. 3. In settings there is Configure your email client (e.g. Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Mail) Configuration instructions<http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=12103&ctx=mail>
so there is no need to make your e-mail dependent on either MS Office or Open Office. You can use Gmail and probably other web based mail systems by themselves or configured to link with a desk based client. The advantage over a web based mail client is that you can get your e-mail at any time from any device, not just one specific machine. Also the provider backs everything up for you so no worries about any of that stuff. Google apps are free so there is no need to buy Office 365 or indeed any office software at all. Gmail and Google apps provide an integrated web based system that can handle most tasks. Apache OpenOffice provides an additional range of tools for more complex needs. we run our entire business using this combination so it is perfectly possible to do.
