and then try if I can copy over the working account ini settings into the config file where it's broken.
You can try that, but it shouldn't work, unless I misinterpreted your situation a bit.
Ok, I will try using the GUI, so what is the best approach? delete the account and re-create the account? I would delete both accounts nafcomaim[at]aim.com and nafcom[at]games.com and only re-add nafcom[at]games.com as nafcomaim[at]aim.com is now a part of the other anyway? (and just exporting the old nafcom[at]aim.com sent folder and re-importing that to sent folder of nafcom[at]games.com)
I hope it will be more stable with this then it was back in the day.
If you have any idea what eerror 89 is and if it is connected to my problem and how to fix it, I would be glad
What's giving the error? The IMAP server? Are you seeing it in the log or when Opera pops up the error console?
I have included a screenshot in my last reply? Isn't it obvious from the screenshot? When I try to do an update installation to fix my broken installation in the installer right at the beginning after I hit "install" button.
Thanks and cheers!

Sorry. Somehow overlooked that part.
I'm not sure what Error 89 is for the installer. I'm assuming it has something to do with that drive or some of the files being read-only or something. I'll see if I can find out.

Yes, you can do it that way if you want. However, you can't directly import messages into an IMAP account. You'll have to import those sent messages into an import (local pop) account and then drag them to the IMAP sent folder of the other account (or wherever you want them ) to upload them.
However, it'd be better to just rename the "mail" folder to"mailold" (after exporting the sent messages you want), start Opera, setup the games.com IMAP account, import the sent messages into a local pop account, drag them to the IMAP account and delete the local pop account. The reason to do it this way is that the database files and all the indexer files will then be fresh, new and free of corruption. You'll have to retype your username and password, but that's no problem.

Okay, let me know when you know more please!
Good news: I now re-added nafcom[at]games.com with the new IMAP and SMTP ports and that worked (however, side effect: sent mails of nafcomaim@aim.com where spotted with false spam positive marks?).
Also, if I unsubscrive nafcomaim[at]aim.com the whole account will cause the mail client to crash (Because I originally planned instead of re-importing the nafcomaim[at]aim.com sent mail folder, to simply unsubscribe from the inbox sub-folder of this in the nafcom[at]games.com account and disable the fetching, i.e. login into nafcomaim[at]aim.com account.
Instead I will export the sent mails from nafcomaim[at]aim.com, re-import it to another's POP3 mail account and delete the damaged nafcom[at]games.com and nafcomaim[at]aim.,com accounts completely (this will probably take hours, so I will do it over night while I am sleeping).
I will report back tomorrow whether everything worked out 100% as planned!
And I will file a bug report that the changes im subscribing/unsubscribing the folder with @ sign crash the opera mail client prg and render the email account unsusable forever until it is manually added again, this is not supposed to happen by any means!

Unfortunately, Opera Mail was discontinued years ago. No bugs will be fixed.

Is this official? The last build wasn't years ago but February, 16th, 2016, I know this myself, as Opera Mail updated itself
If that is the case maybe I should really switch soon, as with bugs like these, it can break again anytime.
Anyway, I can report the deletion worked, so thanks to you I have got it working again and I am happy, thanks for giving extreme good, professional and quick support
Anyway, if you find out more about error 89, I am still interested to know!

Yes, it's official. That update was an exception and was just for a simple security update. No bug fixes.

I switched from Opera Mail to Thunderbird a while ago. I like it and can do most of the same things, just in different ways.

Awesome! You're welcome!

Will do. I haven't heard anything yet.

The most I am concerned about is the Access Points/Auto sorting approach, is there a plugin for that?

Thunderbird has a "Menu -> Folders -> Unified" view (which might even be the default, but I have mine set to "All), that shows "Inbox" and under it shows a view for each account. You can click on "Inbox" to see messages from both accounts. There's also one for Sent. There's also a per-view setting (with a drop-down if you add it to the toolbar) to show a custom view like "Unread".
There are filters, tags, saved searches (where you can choose what folders are searched etc.) and all that. You can add an extension to search certain headers to make a saved search that acts similar to Opera's Attachments access point, but I don't mess with that.
In short, you can do all kinds of things, and a lot of it is there by default.

Ah cool, what is the name of this plugin, please?

Okay, it's worth a shot, maybe on long term, thank you

The per-view view setting has "has attachments" in addition to "Unread". Saved Searches also have an attachment status search.
You can also use regex for more fine-grained search of attachment headers.

I am unfortunately running into the same expected problem I can when I switched from M2 to Opera Mail and I don't remember how I fixed it: My primary email account cannot be exported, at roughly 40% of my inbox the exporting simply stops.
2 possible solutions I have in mind, but don't know how either of them would work and what is the best way to proceed:
A) Force Opera Mail to re-index (Would that even help, considering I don't know why it stops?).
or
Moving the POP3 mails form that inbox via the GUI to my AOL IMAP account (is that even possible).Hope this problem can be fixed.

2nd problem:
I am using the ImportExportTools plugin as described here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_from_Opera
However when I load in the SENT folder of my gmail account, the MBOX file is found it loads, but no messages are imported into Thunderbird.

Yes, that'd be the best way.
But, it'd be better to import each POP (IMAP you never import, but set up fresh) store/accountN folder from Opera Mail's mail folder directly (using this extension). Sent messages are included that folder. Make sure Opera Mail is closed. Doing things this way will totally bypass Opera's exporter.
Moving the POP3 mails form that inbox via the GUI to my AOL IMAP account (is that even possible).
You can try that. Just drag selected messages (ctrl + a for all) from the "Inbox" or "Sent" view message list to the "Inbox" or "Sent" IMAP folder icon in the mail panel of the IMAP account. Or, you can focus the target message list and paste if you copy the selection first.
However when I load in the SENT folder of my gmail account, the MBOX file is found it loads, but no messages are imported into Thunderbird.
Not sure why. You'd have to examine the mbox file in a text editor and make sure the bodies of each message are complete. If they're all blank (for some reason), that could be why.

Oh cool! So where do I find those folders, and how do I know which folders belong to my gmail and web.de accounts? And how do I know what is inbox and what is sent mail folder? And if it's not possible to differ between inbox and sent mail how can I split the 2 if both inbox and sent are in the same inbox view? (I guess I would use bulk import to avoid having tons of MBS folders added to the thunderbird)
I already have the IMAP stuff working
And contacts too Moving the POP3 mails form that inbox via the GUI to my AOL IMAP account (is that even possible).

Tried that, seemed like simply nothing happened, so rather go with taking the native MBOX files (MBS) from the opera folder itself bypassing the exporter as you suggested

See "Store Folder" on this page. Opera doesn't have folders (view that return search results made on the database instead), so all messages for an account are together in the accountN folder (besides drafts as noted on the page).

Okay makes sense. Means after importing I will have to run a search in thunderbird to find out what is sent mail and what is inbox and then move it accordingly, I assume

Btw, you can try the Thunderbird Support mailing list for help with future issues.
