I have to agree with the comment of what an email client does. We shouldn't be integrating the same features as what an email client does. As Libreoffice is not an email client. It is a word processor office suite not an email client. Features for word processing application are needed not an email client. I believe it is useless code. Most enterprises either use outlook thunderbird or groupwise for their businesses. Even some businesses run google apps now, office 365. The point is the obvious mail client which everyone can use are really only 3 if you think about it.
Another suggestion is if Libreoffice integrated features of mail merge to somehow combine with an email client really easily? Finally, Libreoffice is missing many collaboration and sharing features and auto save features that are featured in os x lion and pages. Another suggestion maybe to have a central specific display window similar to the save and open functions in the office suite that was purely based on sharing and collaboration and file sharing to other people and or email via a mail merge. Another piece of code that was smaller and more integrated into Libreoffice than the original mail merge code. Just suggestions.
