Hi Marcus,
One facet of all this has changed. In keeping with perpetual greed MS
has copied the cash cow concept adopted by adobe - you don't get the
program you rent it thus insuring they get your money.
I loaded outlook and and because I think they are pushing the online
stuff suddenly my copy no longer functions how about that?
Thunderbird is pretty barren, and seems to frequently do stuff I don't
care for examples do not come to mind as this is written.... but the $$
angle with MS is the dominant item. Customer needs to be milked.
Can't express my loathing for that enough.
Thanks for your comments. Perhaps as MS tightens the wire a new or
improved client may be in order.
Kind regards,
John Diehl

A fabulous addition to your programs would be a mail client. How I
would welcome that. One that has an auto correct built in.
OpenOffice had already a mail client (OK; to be more correct, it was
StarOffice many years ago). It had a news client, Internet browser and
schedular on board. Even an own desktop was included. However, it
wasn't successfull. The people have used other programs that were
better suited for that and the desktop wasn't well understood.
Today there are already good and well-established programs like
Outlook and Thunderbird - just to name the most popular ones.
Therefore I don't think it would make sense to spend a lot of time to
invent all of this from scratch just to have an own mail program in
OpenOffice.
My 2ct.
