Have you confirmed your SMTP connection failure under the latest builds of the 4.1 or 4.2 release branches?

Apologies for my confusion here: What's the relationship between "The mail merge wizard can not be used on LibreOffice 4.1/4.2 (the SMTP connection always fails)" and your desire to "save each document with a specific name" ? > By the way, do you plan to fix the Writer MailMerge SMTP bug in next 4.2 or > 4.3 release ? Which bug? Have you tested the problem under LO 4.2.3? Specific details help us to narrow-in on the particular problem and fix it more quickly :-) Best, -- Robinson Tryon LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald The Document Foundation qu...@libreoffice.org _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
