Please bring back "Known contact" icon in mail overview
See how easy it used to be to see mails from someone you know? This was a major feature of Opera mail for me: I could quickly get to mails from contacts, and deal with them before the hundreds of other mostly rubbish. Actually I would have preferred the known mails to be filterable, so that I could create a folder for mail from contacts, which would have made my life even easier, but this was a good second-best.
But the feature seems to have vanished in Opera 11.60, making Opera Mail vastly less useful for me. I will now have to wade through each mail separately. Please bring it back! Or even better: create default folders for mail from contacts/non-contacts.
If you go into the contacts panel and set an icon on the "Images" tab in the properties of each of your contacts, you'll see those icons in the list. Just make sure it's not the first icon list in the images tab.
Not the same as before, but that should help.

Yes, I thought of that, but I have 1141 contacts, and I ready mail on 5 different computers, so that would be an extraordinary amount of work, compared with Opera just doing it right.

I also vote for these functions of known contact filtering. The known contact icon was really useful when trying to find important emails fast.
A filter for known / unknown contacts would be great as well.
Another icon distinguished also the Spam, Trash, News messages. Now in the Received mail, I can''t tell what is spam and deleted mail. This is really confusing!

You could use a text editor (with regex replace for example) or sed to add/replace icon= for each contact and set them all to contact13 for example. You'd do this to contacts.adr in the preferences directory. Again, not what you want, but something else you can try.

Not sure what Opera's gonna do, but I'm pretty sure the changes to 11.60 in this area were intentional.
