With so many open source mail clients out there, there is no short term plan to create a new one, or provide one as part of OOo. I would suggest you give Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/) and for calandering try sunbird/lightning (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/). There are other open source email clients, of course, but I've found this one to meet all my home needs just fine. /paul Go the all blacks..... -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
