ok, so to clarify I tried to use Mail Merge both on :
- Mac Mavericks (Mac Book Pro 64 bits) / LibreOffice production release 4.1.5 - MS Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bits / LibreOffice 4.2.3.3 In both cases, when configuring the mail merge settins with SMTP/SSL, it always fails and LibreOffice freezes. From what I understood from you I shall confirm this bug at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ About my wish to "save each document with a specific name" , in my case that would be a workaround of the above issue as I can not send the documents by mail, my idea was to generate all the files MyFile_customerID1.pdf, MyFile_customerID2.pdf, MyFile_customerID3.pdf, MyFile_customerID4.pdf etc ... and then create a dummy PHP script to send each document by mail to the right recipient. But I imagine that ability to save documents with a specific name ( having a field from the DataSource used to create the document template) could be usefull in many other cases; would you consider such RFE ?
