List,
I installed opera just to check the browser out. Heck it is an integrated browser and mail package all in one. Interface is clean, fast, and the widgets are very handy. It does some pretty cool stuff with the Filters, Attachments and Mailing Lists folders under the mail widget. Who knew... Compose editor is clean and intuitive. Setup was a breeze. I'll have to get used to ctrl+m for new message.
How does it know I'm subscribed to all the opensuse, samba, squirrelmail, vbox, etc.. Mailing Lists? I guess it filters on the headers and is smart enough to know what a mailing list is. The attachment identification and collection into the separate folder is really handy as well. I haven't seen that one before, but I often wanted something like that.
Nicely done. (the default font configuration could use some work, Bitstream 16 pt. and Times New Roman??) All in all, first impressions are very good. I'd never seen it before, and within about 10 minutes, I had it configured the way I wanted it, 3 mail accounts created and about 30,000 headers imported. I still can't figure out how to rearrange the mail list column order, but that's for another day. The only hiccup was import of account setting from thunderbird's prefs.js. It found my main pop3 account with suddenlink, but failed to import any of my imap or gmail accounts. No big deal, once it had the pop3 account, all the mail options were right there.
Now we will see if it sends mail too, hmm.. (ctrl+shift+s) we'll have to work on that one..
Nice to see another Opera convert. I use opera for mail (along with Kmail, sometimes I can't decide how the delete option in opera mail works with gmail imap.. i'll test more). Also, the built in irc is awesome. The way it renders everything is great (the things it doesn't render are things that aren't coded correctly). Adding some plugins to match "firefox" plugins would be my only suggestion. A few things that I would love to work with it that doesn't are: sprintpcs.com google notebook livelink mplayer, java and flash all work flawless for me in 9.62 I turned from a firefox convert to an opera fan boy..
