Getting nicely to https://extensions.libreoffice.org/, entering mailmerge in search field after some clicking I reach https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/mail-merge-db/1.0.

However there is no field to click in order to download the extension! The heading "Available Downloads" is not clickable!

Yup, but looks like the linked project page for the extension is off line, or defunct?

Also, not clear if the macros provided with the extension are even still relevant. Probably best to purge.


@jmux?

So the conclusion is that LibreOffice 6.1 in contrast to 6.0 does not have the function mailmerge?
Seriously?

No. On the extension page, it lists LibreOffice 3.3 and LibreOffice 3.4. I guess it can be removed from our extension homepage, so people won't get misdirected, especially since the download is also broken.

I don't know how long LibreOffice has build-in mail merge, but it has been included for many years. The description of the extension doesn't help either.
