Re: [PLUG] Star Office Mail help needed
|
StarOffice 6, at least, does not include an email client. Sun suggests
exporting your 5.2 mail files, and importing them into Netscape, Mozilla,
or Outlook Express.
See http://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/6.0beta/faq.htm#m13
pls
(Mutt is an excellent mail client. Far better than, for example, being
subjected to evil munging by Lotus Notes. My apologies for replying before
this message, lack of correct quoting, &c.)

Please respond to
plug@lists.phillylinux
.org
The Star Office beta program is expired. You may be able to get it from
someone who d/l'd it though. Open Office is still updating the program,
which is actually quite nice. I haven't looked, so I am unsure of whether
StarOffice 6 or Open Office even have a mail client.
