  This worked perfectly! I exported my Firefox bookmarks into an html file, then imported them into Opera. It brought over the bookmarks and even the folders.

  Thanks!

  A menu bar is apparently not "on the menu" — or at least I have seen no mention of it.

  Basic Ctrl-X and so on, plus context menu and drag and drop. Not aware of any special touch versions though.

  Thank you for your advice, I am going to try to apply them.
  But it had been more logical than Opera retain the compartments organization possibilities of the 11-version !!!
  I do not still understand why compartments are ARBITRARLY re-organized without taking into account wishes of the users . In brief, it pleases me not at all 😞

  Port 993 + TLS for the IMAP server and Port 465 (or 587) for the SMTP server. Use your full email address for the username. As long as the server names and your password are correct then, it should just work.

  While Opera is closed, you can edit accounts.ini in the mail folder and set Incoming Log File=path_to_text_file under the section for the account in question. Then, when you start Opera Mail, Opera will log the connection to that file. You can then see if it reveals exactly what's wrong.

  Seems to work, thank you.

  Now let's see whether I can import the bookmarks without being tortured like Opera has always done...

  Opera 20 still not showing complete URL in address bar

  This makes me very sad. I have been considering a switch to Opera because I am sick and tired of Mozilla making random, unhelpful changes to Firefox and not listening to the community. Firefox decided to hide the "http" in an address, so we had to go in and manually turn that back on. Then they decided nobody would REALLY want to turn of javascript on a page, so they removed that option from the Options page; you have to search the about:config just to turn off javascript. Now they're doing a radical redesign of their UI so that basically if I want firefox, I'll be forced to use a mobile browser on my desktop (big, touch-friendly button menu instead of sensible, mouse-friendly menu that actually has useful options.) I thought Opera, as one of the smaller players, would be a bit more sensible about things. Now I find out a feature I consider one of the most basic and vital to a browser (an address bar) was working in version 12, but has been deliberately broken ever since and will only be fixed in version 21. You're really not making me feel good about this switch.

  That's fine, but I can shorten it if I need to after its already there on the toolbar, if I want to.

  This isn't a showstopper for me, but I don't recall any other browser doing this. I can see why someone might like this option as default, but I'd surely like a way to change it.

  Password managers and Opera

  So far so good. I took your advice and have installed the LastPass extension. Looks like I had already used it, as I already had an account with them, and many forum sites have their login info stored on my lastpass account.

  Its not perfect--even though it has the login info, lastpass is still waiting for me to click on a button before entering the data. However, this only has to happen once. After clicking, and then loggin in, Opera's native password manager then asks if I want it to remember the login info. Over time, I willl gradually transfer these passwords into Opera, and then I won't have to worry about this any more.

  Thanks for the recommendation. Its only 1 click per site extra, one time. After that, the passwords get automatically imported into Opera. That's a solution I can absolutely live with.

  Ohhh, you mean Speed Dial, Stash and Discover. I wish they could find a better way, though I can live with it. You just have to select what isn't made ugly by the light. Occasionally, the light can even be an enhancement.

  So you're going to be intolerant of one person's opinion and forsake a company at large for it?

  Hi Michael53151, if you would like, then you can try to use the "Transmute" for Windows for that purpose.
