     Of the 2 email clients, I prefer Thunderbird over Evolution, but 
this is a personal viewpoint.
     I have a suggestion: Can Thunderbird be set up to just send emails 
from LO while you continue to use Opera as your email client? You would 
have to set up Thunderbird an email client for incoming and outgoing 
mail, but you would not have to use it. Uncheck anything that applies to 
downloading email (check for new messages at startup, check for new 
messages every ___ minutes, and automatically download new messages).
     I have Seamonkey, Firefox, and Thunderbird installed. The latter 
is my email client, and Seamonkey has the things I mentioned unchecked. 
So it does not try to download any emails. I have set up Seamonkey as 
the email client for LO, and it works.
