In StatOffice 5.2 you have a perfect Email/Calender/Schedule clinet and server backend that is cross platform and works resobly well to be a "OutLook/MS Office" killer.
I was so happy when SUN said -"We will release StarOffice as OpenSource". Now we finally had the Groupware and Office suite of programs under an OSS license.
BUT! When SUN released OpenOffice they had removed the whole Groupware part of the program. Hence making it a less atractive as a Outlook/MS Office replacement.
I hope SUN can rethink and release the missing Email/Caldender/Schedule parts of OpenOffice under a OSS license.
