Hi;
I couldn't help noticing the number of queries there
are on this list from new users / potential users for
an integrated "Outlook -like" component. I use OOo
plus evolution. That seems to do everything.
What integrated extra am I missing by no longer using
my WindowsXP/MSOffice/Outlook? What are the posters
looking for?
Just curious!
I agree. I use Linux, OOo, Kontact (KDE). I have not
been able to figure out what their problem is with OOo.
Kontact functions nearly identical to Outlook AFAIR (I
have not used Outlook in 5 years). My wife still uses
Outlook and it appears to be no different then it was
then.
IIRC, the part that's missing is a shared calendar of
events and appointments.
Now that I don't know because I never used that function at
home when I was on Windows/Office/Outlook.
I only had one job where I had to use it with Outlook in the
corporate world.
Though in one position I had to support it, I've pretty well avoided it
for my own use. In my current position, my computer came with Outlook &
MS Office installed, but Outlook was only being used as a POP client. I
soon installed OpenOffice and Seamonkey and don't use the MS apps at
all. I also got a co-worker to switch.
OpenOffice.org + SeaMonkey is a great combination (office + internet
suites). A shared calendar between those two apps would be great.
As I heard, it's in the making by the name of "Lightning". It's
currently a Thunderbird plug-in but future versions of OpenOffice.org
and SeaMonkey (once rewritten to use the new toolkit) will support it.
It will be great!
Regards,
Nomax.
