Importing from another account

Hi All,

I'm trying to import from my hotmail account into mail.opera.com. When I go into "Settings" and then click on "Accounts", it prompts me to put in my e-mail address and then my password. Upon clicking "Add Account", it does one of two things:

1) In IE8 it says "Fetching account settings" and then "Verifying account details" and then goes back to showing the "Add Account" button.
2) In IE9 it does the same, but then shows a red exclamation mark symbol and says "Hmmm, something went wrong. Check your e-mail and account password."

Despite the face that I know that the password and e-mail are correct, and having re-entered them several times, I cannot get the import to work.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
cbrennen

Just to note, I've now fixed the problem. It seems my password for Hotmail was too long and thus, not being accepted. So, I changed the password and all is well. I hope this helps others who may have the same problem! smile

Hi everyone,

I want to import my complete yahoo inbox to my myopera mail account, but for some reason it only fetches the latest 100 messages. I was wondering if anybody knows a way how I could get the other 300 mails from my yahoo to my mail.opera.com account.

thanks in advance,
urguru

cbrennen: thanks for bringing this to our attention (and figuring out what the problem was!). I'll take a look at our end to see if we can change it so people don't experience the same problem in the future.

urguru: At the moment we've designed it this way. We are open to suggestion if this is something that you want, though.
Please do not email me directly unless requested to do so. Thanks!

cbrennen: I can't reproduce your problem here. The max characters that hotmail allows for a password is 13, and that works fine for me.

I have exported my email to my desktop from my windows live mail. I want to upload all my emails into Opera. Is this possible?
