My OperaWelcome to My Opera Mail Beta
By Johan Borgborg. Thursday, April 7, 2011 11:10:00 AM
Welcome to My Opera Mail Beta and the first post from the Mail Team!
From today, all My Opera accounts also have an @myopera.com e-mail address and you can try out our new mail service at https://mail.opera.com, just log in with the same user name and password you use for My Opera, Opera Link or Opera Unite.
Our goal is to make a fast and friendly mail service that is efficient and easy to use on any device, whether you prefer to access your e-mail from Opera Mini on a mobile phone (dedicated mobile interface), a tablet with touch interface (large, comfortable buttons) or a desktop computer (extensive keyboard shortcuts).
This is the first public release of the service and you can expect old features to be refined and new to be added both during and after the beta period. We'll announce news on this blog, so press that Subscribe button now
My Opera Mail Beta is brand new, but it is also based on the systems and experience of the FastMail.FM team that joined Opera last year.
Those who have already used FastMail.FM will recognize a few bits and pieces, but major parts of My Opera Mail Beta have been rewritten as an AJAX application to take advantage of modern browsers and speed up the entire experience.
One of the more interesting additions compared to FastMail is a feature we originally planned for the initial version of Opera's built-in mail client "M2" but that we never had time to complete before the release of Opera 7.0: Conversation view. Grouping all messages in a thread as a single page makes even more sense for a Web service than a native application, so we decided to put in the extra effort to support conversations across folders on our Cyrus IMAP servers.
The new system has been in closed beta for a few weeks already and one of our beta testers posted an entire collection of screen shots, but the best way to try it is to simply head over to https://mail.opera.com and play with it!

small suggestion : please let users import gmail and yahoo mail contact directly... importing from a csv is a little cumbersome!!

but the text tell me that my username is valid and there's a link to opera unite
where's my mail service ? my account begins with a number (1 for instance) perhaps somethings wrong with that so i cannot use the Omail?
Johan Borgborg # Thursday, April 7, 2011 12:55:13 PM
@peterpala, we don't want dots and underscores because we want user names to also be usable as (single) domain names, like peterpala.operaunite.com or even peterpala.myopera.com, question of being forward compatible with wider use of the name.

it would be really great if you could make aliases for email address, so that "peterpala" would be used as a domain name, while "peter.pala@myopera.com" would be a valid email address.
i think gmail has something similar - you can add a dot wherever in your username and it's still valid.

@Ohmprakasho2k: You will be asked automatically to change name if your existing name doesn't work for e-mail.

Somethings wrong there...
Other than that it seems fine.

In the web interface creating a new message and save it to create a draft makes labels appear in m2.

* Is there anyway to see how much space I'm using?
* Will it be possible to have an alias? (Even just 1 would be great). I don't always want to use my nickname (or real name) in my email adress.

I wanted to try fastmail but actually didn't have time to sign up... Now I am very happy to have opera mail without any efforts and in one place with my other opera stuff.

I cannot use mail service which does not offer using my own domain. That is the reason why I use Google Gmail and MS Live Mail (Hotmail). I think that I grew out of using freemails with domain like gmail.com and so on. It is just not necessary personal. Even nice services like GMX.com with very nice webmails are out of option because of it.
So sorry but it is one big problem for me. And does not matter how superb the interface and design is.
