Hello and good day dear Community,

You mean Groupwise from Novell?  If you want to customize it, use Thunderbird or something else.

 

Groupwise is made to do work, mail, and calendaring.  That's about it.  That being said, you'll lose the shared documents functionality and it's built-in calendaring with colleagues.

good day dear Farmeunit

 

first of all - many many thanks for the quick reply. I am very glad to hear from you. 

 

I did a long long search at the weekend - and i am sure - youre right. There is no such thing that substitutes Thunderbird and - in my case MailMerge.  i studied all the docs that i was able to find. 

 

- here some results that i want to share with all the others - who work on the same issues and need to find a answer...

by the way: you can run mailmerge with the support of excel / calc - based adressdata.
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/mail-merge-using-an-excel-spreadsheet-858c7d7f-5cc0-4ba1-9a7b-0a948fa3d7d3

here are some tips to prepare your Excel spreadsheet for a mail merge. Make sure:

Column names in your spreadsheet match the field names you want to insert in your mail merge. For example, to address readers by their first name in your document, you'll need separate columns for first and last names.
All data to be merged is present in the first sheet of your spreadsheet.
Data entries with percentages, currencies, and postal codes are correctly formatted in the spreadsheet so that Word can properly read their values. The Excel spreadsheet to be used in the mail merge is stored on your local machine.
Changes or additions to your spreadsheet are completed before it's connected to your mail merge document in Word.

- Quick to setup and does what it should do perfectly!

- An absolutely essential part of my Thunderbird installation. Straightforward to use, and extremely effective.
- Not fancy, but very flexible for customizing fields. Using the CSV option saved me hours of work. Would like to see the email preview in other than HTML though.
- I would love to be able to use variables to insert files directly into the email body.
- Very useful plugin. We use it to send customized conference mail.
- One of the best Add-ons in Thunderbird. I wish I had it also for Mail app from Apple.
