Many people ask for an email client from OpenOffice.org, and these

this OOo bug:

And how long do you figure that it would take David Harris to port to
Linux & Mac OS X? That is of course once the proprietary third-party
core editor issue is resolved...
Thunderbird currently supports Windows, Linux & Mac OS X, is opensource
(with Mozilla restrictions that are already acknowledged and used in OOo
- see the OOo THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html), and localised for many
languages:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/all.html
Further, Thunderbird already has several million users, a vast support
network, and a considerable amount of add-in's/extensions (to include
Calendar/PIM).
Sorry, but I'd not vote for 88366.
I wonder why people rejects Thunderbird?? I have installed
it on, I do not know how many, computers along with the latest
version of OpenOffice.org .
Also the people at Mozilla are working on an open source version
of Eudora. That was a good email client, when I used it, before
I tried the first versions of Thunderbird.
Also, I wonder why people want OOo to have an intergrated
email client? The volunteer programmers have enough to do
making OOo the best Office Suite out there.
Let people like the volunteers at Mozilla make the best browsers
and email clients. They have years doing it. OOo volunteers have
years doing their thing. Each doing the best in their field.
Why would people want OOo do what Mozilla does best?
That is my opinion, what's yours?
