Can I use operamail as my home for my @operamail account?

I have an @operamail.com account from operamail.com

And in the panel there's mail in there right?

Can I compose mail from there? And read my incoming messages from the panel - it will Open a tab named "recieved" or "inbox" right?


I'm already using it, but when I compose the receiver can't recieve my mail created from there.

Ctrl + F12 -> Advanced -> Programs -> mailto -> edit -> Use a webmail service -> Opera webmail

Then, if you're logged into operamail.com and click on a mailto link on some page, a compose page will open at operamail.com with the applicable fields filled in. You can then finish composing and send the message.

If you want to receive opermail.com mail inside Opera with Opera's built-in mail client, you need to set up a pop account to access it. However, you must have a premium operamail.com account for pop access.

But, read http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=549051 first as operamail.com might get an overhaul and might end up being powered by fastmail.fm technology.

For now, you can go to fastmail.fm, set up a free account with 10MB of space and access it in Opera's built-in mail client via IMAP (preferred) or pop.

Or, you can goto mail.google.com and set up a Gmail account, turn on IMAP and access it in Opera's built-in mail client. The cool thing about gmail is it's free and has a ton of space.

Or, you can just wait awhile and see what happens with operamail.com to see if it improves. Currently, it's a pretty crappy webmail.

Yep, I agree that operamail is crappy, from the time I saw the website, looks kinda icky, but I still continued to sign up.

And holy crap just 3mb of space ?!?!!?

What the?

Yah, much like it, but what about Windows Live Mail? I don't use my @gmail account often, as a fact that I recieve 1 spam message every 5 weeks

It's my personal preference to avoid Hotmail and Yahoo as their services are very buggy and nonstandard. And the companies actively try to block and break things in Opera. So, Windows LIve Mail is a no-go right from the beginning, imo.

Gmail (Google) doesn't support Opera at all either. But, they are the lesser evil here.
