No, it's the - still valid - spec of the dialogs under the Edit/Database
sub menu. (Well, probably you'll find the one or other minor item which
has been superseded by reality meanwhile.)

The Evolution section is up-to-date as well, but the Evolution driver is
available for Linux only.
Issue 67600 requests access to Groupwise on Windows, which is a
completely different story.
Since the Groupwise AB is claimed to be accessible via MAPI, I would
have assumed it works out-of-the-box with the "Windows Address Book"
database type, which is for this purpose (accessing the AB which is
exposed via MAPI). So, speaking strictly, that's probably not an
ENHANCEMENT, but a DEFECT.
I cannot really judge the effort for fixing this. Given that the real
MAPI-access code is in Mozilla (OOo ships with a few Mozilla libs
implementing this), it might turn out difficult. Also, when we ever
touch this area, I'd rather go the way of removing the dependency from
Mozilla code (which causes constant problems for various reasons), and
implement an own MAPI SDBC driver, which probably wouldn't make it
easier ...
Ciao
Frank
