      I am using the latest version ofOpera Mail. E-mails that I delete permanently keep on "coming babk to life" again and reappear
      What is the remedy?

      The obvious answer is that you have Opera Mail set to leave the messages on the server and it's re-downloading them every time. Set it to delete them from the server when you download them.

        Or the server is not configured to allow deleting from a client (we used to have that issue with Gmail all the time).

          Hello Opera Community.

          I hope I am posting this in the correct location. I have searched and search and cannot seem to find an answer to this... but I'm not even sure I am using the right terms..

          How can I increase the font size in Opera's dialogue box that opens when you >RIGHT CLICK<?

          Note: I am NOT talking about increasing WEBSITE FONT.. RIGHT CLICK and the window that opens for things like "Spell Check", "Copy/Paste", "open link in new tab"...etc.
          How do I make THAT font larger?

          Windows 7
          Opera Version: 48.0.2685.35 (PGO) - Opera is up to date

          My monitor is a 60" TV and I use a wireless keyboard and mouse.. but the TV/computer is on the other side of the room.. anytime I try to correct spelling or cut/copy..of any of the other myriad of things contained in that dialogue box.. it is a bit of a challenge.

          Thank you so much for your time.

            That is a menu. It should be the same size as any other menu.

                You can't. You can try change Windows DPI and/or font size.

                        is the link truncated by this forum.

                            You mean the bookmark's bar?

                              I have been using Chrome for my browser. I installed Opera and went to Google.com and signed into my google account so I could check my email. All of a sudden all of my Chrome settings and bookmarks were applied to Opera without me telling Opera to import anything.

                                Although you didn't ask anything, I say that Opera import data from default browser doing installation.

                                  I use opera with VPN and it works quite well however it does not mask my ID from my Internet Provider. Is there a way?

                                  Thanks

                                        You don't need to shout.

                                        What sites can see your real IP address? It's not exactly impossible for a site to know that you are using a VPN and also know your IP.

                                            Opera doesn't have a torrent client for its VPN to work on. Opera's VPN works only in Opera.
