        @burnout426 It sure would be great if someone has found a link to it. I'm on Win7 64bit. I wonder if a previous build of Opera Mail is different. I'm on Version 1.0 Build 1044.

          @rh99 Before the standalone Opera Mail, Opera Mail was built into Opera. See https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/ for links. In the advanced settings under "Programs", you can add http and https to open with the default browser or a specific browser. Then, you can use just the mail part to simulate the standalone Opera Mail. Opera Mail built into Opera is less buggy than the standalone Opera Mail. But, it still had the same issue with notification sounds.

            @burnout426 OK I loaded up Opera 12.18. Preferences, Advanced, Programs, I see mailto under Protocol. Can I launch it from here somehow?

            Opera 12.18 is unusable on many websites now.

              @rh99 That entry is to tell Opera what to do when you click on a mailto link on a page inside Opera. If you want that Opera set as the default mail client, you can do that in the Windows settings.

                Well yeah of course. Not sure what that has to do with audio notifications though. I thought you meant that there was a version of Opera Mail built into the newer Opera browser.

                  What I can't understand is why they discontinued it. It works so well. With a few tweaks they could have made it 100% modern. I prefer it so much over Thunderbird. I used Thunderbird for a while but went back to Opera after putting up with Mozilla's illogical design choices that I found really aggravating. Opera Mail just needs more options, more customization like Thunderbird offers, except with Opera logic. Not the Mozilla's brains in a blender type thinking.

                    @rh99 I guess that the demand for an email client wasn't/isn't enough to worth the costs of developing one.

                        @leocg I think you mean maintaining one. Not that Opera Mail doesn't work fairly well right now for non-complex tasks.
