Mail Merge to e-mail only sends to first recipient

Hi,

I have set up Libre Office but have had a devil of a time getting mail merge to work. Now I am almost there. TThe installation details are

  • Version: 5.3.4.2
  • Build ID: f82d347ccc0be322489bf7da61d7e4ad13fe2ff3
  • CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Windows
  • 6.1; UI Render: default; Layout Engine: new;
  • Locale: en-GB (en_GB); Calc: group

Merging to printed or saved documents works fine, but when sending to an e-mail address, the system only sends to the first recipient in Base (although it gives the impression of cycling through all of them)

The e-mail account I am using to send from is an Outlook.com address. The system refused to connect through to my main e-mail system which is on a hosted cpanel. (The dreaded Microsoft Word/Outlook combination works fine on either, but I am trying to extricate myself from Microsoft Office)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi.

The email provider is the one from the company (actually OVH : ssl0.ovh.net ).

I also tried with Gmail’s SMTP server with the same result.

I did a test with the same SMTP server but using another application (the Mail Merge extension of Thunderbird) and it worked. That leads me to conclude it is a LO bug.

I also have this problem. I tried many SMTP, but Writer send only the first. OS: Fedora 25, Fedora 26, blackPanther OS, …
