Title: Libreoffice 6.4: unable to use external mail-client
Post by: tomsiduction on 2020/04/02, 10:16:56
Hello

I am using (now) after updating to LibreOffice 6.4.2.2.
The mail-function does not work as before.
I use SeaMonkey as mail-client.

Via Options-Internet-EMail I am able to set a path
e.g. .../seamonkey/seamonkey or /seamonkey/runmozilla.sh.

In every case LibreOffice wants to get in contact only with Kmail.

As I am running on KDE I adjusted the "standard mail program" to SeaMonkey - does not help at all.

Any idea how to fix that?


Regards

Hello
The fix is:
Go to the folder "seamonkey"
copy the file "seamonkey" and name the copy "thunderbird"

Then:
Set the mail-client in KDE and Libreoffice to:

.../seamonkey/thunderbird

That is all

Wenn schon so, kopiert man keine Binaries, sprich schafft keine nichtaktualisierbaren Doubletten, sondern erzeugt Softlinks (https://wiki.debian.org/SymLink).
