This question is asked, at least, daily. Most people on this list have an opinion on this one way or the other. The current answer is that there is
not presently an email client offered with OOo.

IMHO I don't believe that OOo should never have a email
application. > There
are plenty of good Open Source email clients that will do the job (and the
list and quality is improving all the time).

Just my $0.02 worth...

Well this is an open source project after all, I do wonder how many
of those requestors are willing to either program or provide the programmer to work on this task.

FOSS is not just about requesting something but doing it yourself.
So are you saying that if I can't program or provide a programmer I shouldn't use FOSS? That is pretty narrow minded.


No, more like: if you can't pay the piper, you can't call the tune

Attitudes like that make one want to quit using FOSS. Obviously you do not care about the users of OO.org. You seem to believe that only the people who can program it should use it. Anyone else's opinion doesn't count. This attitude will drive people away.Besides, doesn't Sun pay the salaries of most of the OO.org developers?
