In addition to registering the product you can register as a user on
the http://www.openoffice.org website this gives you the benfit of
actually becoming an offical member of our great community ;-) and
gets you access to the bug tracking system we use.
Additionally you have the benfit of being able to use an
<username>@openoffice.org email Address for communication in our
mailing lists and bug tracking system.
How, please? What server settings do I use to set up my mail reader?
Well it´s not a full mail service such as gmail where you have IMAP or
POP3 and SMTP server to setup in the mail reader and there is no actual
storage for your email on an openoffice.org server or similar involved.
It´s simply an email forwarding address service. What you do is to go to
MyPages on the OpenOffice.org website login and than go to My Profile on
the left and than make sure that your profile contains an email address
to forward to. If this is the case anyone can now send email to
<yourusername>@openoffice.org and you will receive those at your
forwarded email account. In your email client, eg. thunderbird you can
just create an additional account using your usual IMAP and SMTP server
settings but <yourusername>@openoffice.org as the sender address and you
will than be able to switch as who you are sending when composing new email.
