<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>ok, so to clarify I tried to use Mail Merge both on :<br><br><div><div class="gmail_extra"><ul><li>Mac Mavericks (Mac Book Pro 64 bits) / LibreOffice production release 4.1.5</li><li>MS Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bits / LibreOffice 4.2.3.3<br>
</li></ul>In both cases, when configuring the mail merge settins with SMTP/SSL, it always fails and LibreOffice freezes. From what I understood from you I shall confirm this bug at <a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org/" target="_blank">http://bugs.freedesktop.org/</a><br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">About my wish to "save each document with a specific name" , in my case that would be a workaround of the above issue as I can not send the documents by mail, my idea was to generate all the files MyFile_customerID1.pdf, MyFile_customerID2.pdf, MyFile_customerID3.pdf, MyFile_customerID4.pdf etc ... and then create a dummy PHP script to send each document by mail to the right recipient. But I imagine that ability to save documents with a specific name ( having a field from the DataSource used to create the document template) could be usefull in many other cases; would you consider such RFE ?<br>

</div>At least half of those bug reports are resolved, marked as duplicates<br>
of other bugs, or otherwise appear as though they may be out of date.<br>
Have you confirmed your SMTP connection failure under the latest<br>
builds of the 4.1 or 4.2 release branches?<br>
<br>
Please find 4.1.5 and 4.2.3 (plus a 4.1.6 pre-release) here:<br>

</div>Apologies for my confusion here: What's the relationship between "The<br>
<div class="">mail merge wizard can not be used on LibreOffice 4.1/4.2 (the SMTP<br>
</div>connection always fails)" and your desire to "save each document with<br>
a specific name" ?<br>
<div class=""><br>
> By the way, do you plan to fix the Writer MailMerge SMTP bug in next 4.2 or<br>
> 4.3 release ?<br>
<br>
</div>Which bug? Have you tested the problem under LO 4.2.3?<br>
<br>
Specific details help us to narrow-in on the particular problem and<br>
fix it more quickly :-)<br>
