Hello LeoCG
Thank you for your thought. However, I am not new to Opera. I have several mail accounts that were working on my old computer. The same with the contacts. For some reason, when I went to the new computer with Windows 7, I can not get them to work, even thought I've transferred files and everything else is there on the panel (notes, bookmarks, etc). I can not even toggle the mail to on, it is grayed out in the appearance window. Oh, also I forgot to mention in my original post that I see the incoming mail pop-up in the lower right of my screen. This has me thinking that the mail was set up properly, I just cannot see it (or the contacts). Maybe?
Any thoughts on this?
thanks.
Nancy

I didn't think of going to 'mail and chat' accounts. Good idea. Unfortunately, they are also grayed out so I can't check that way either. Any other thoughts? Or maybe I should delete all of Opera and start over? It was very confusing transferring files because Windows files are not exactly the same as Windows XP.
What I really need is someone to tell me which Opera/XP files go where in Opera/Win7. Previously when I switched from an XP to an XP someone was nice enough to give me a list of files to transfer line by line. Can anyone help me with this XP-Win7 transfer in a similar way?
I hope?
Thank you all.

Hello again.
I have deleted Opera 12 and reinstalled Opera 11.64.
I have followed paths and moved files for the following using instructions: Preferences, Bookmarks, Cache, Help Documents (opcache), Mail directory, Plug-In path (only plugins), and User CSS Directory.
I could not find a file called "autopera.win" to move to Saved Sessions. Does this matter?
* * * * * * *
I did not know what to move for Opera Directory, so I did not do that one. I have two choices in my old HD:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Opera\Opera <<< here I see ONLY a 'mail' folder and nothing else
OR
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Opera\Opera <<< here there are lots of folders and files. Some of the files here were moved individually, such as Operaprefs.ini, bookmarks.adr, contacts.adr, and notes.adr.
* * * * * * *
I am still unable to see mail and contacts. I can not add them to the panel as they are still grayed out in the Appearance/Panel and in Tools/Mail and Chat accounts. Same error message keeps popping up:
"Failed to open the following file: C:\documents and settings\Nancy\application data\Opera\Opera\mail\omailbase.dat"
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.

Go to opera:config and look for "Show E-mail Client" and see if it's checked.

See if there is one called autosave.win. But you really don't need to copy that file

When I click on the link, this is what I get:
The webpage cannot be displayed
Most likely cause:
•Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.
What you can try:
Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page
Thank you for all of your help. I think all is solved except that some of my mail did not come back, particularly some of the older mail that I had saved, and SOME of the labels are missing.
