      How could I have known that MyOpera would close because I have not received any warning! Officials MyOpera behaved like amateurs and showed a lack of consideration for users who touches disrespect.

        Up until yesterday morning it could still be accessed at: https://mail.opera.com/mail/

        Unfortunately it appears that this option no longer works. It would appear you are too late. We've known for months that this would happen although that doesn't take away the pain of those who have lost their mail through no knowledge of the shutdown. It's unfortunate and maybe a reminder to try and keep yourself abreast of what is happening to the company from whom you use a free service.

          This is not because the service is free MyOpera the team was entitled to mock users and close the service without any personal warning.
          I never accessed the forums before today, it was therefore not possible to me to be notified of the closure of MyOpera.

            Why did MyOpera team does not consider it necessary to warn users by email?
            Why let new users create a MyOpera then realized that was slated for closure?
            Why such contempt?
            Why such a casually?
            This behavior demonstrates that it is not possible to trust Opera and all the services it can offer.

              Is there anyway to get access to my mailboxes for a bit, I don't remember ever seeing any email in this regard. Please is there any way to get access for for a bit?

                I believe that it is now too late to access your email. As I mentioned above, up until yesterday it was still possible but it now appears that this door has been closed. Now whether the email exists in an archived form on their servers or whether it has simply been deleted is anyone's guess but my gut feeling is, it's too late to retrieve it.

                  LOL at Opera, you deserve this hate. I said, that many user are using MyOperaMail as their primary e-mail adress, some used the little login window ( not the My Opera Mail startpage ) and they had no chance to see that MyOperaMail will close. Others used E-Mail clients.

                  So reckless of you that you not mailed @myopera.com.

                  Now many people lost all their data. I can't understand you Opera. Your spirit has changed and i feel very uncomfortable to use your products. You lost it.....

                    Is there any contacts we can reach at Opera I am sure they have to have it Archived for a period of time, any numbers to call?

                      The users received an e-mail warning about the shutdown of My Opera and also there was a notice on My Opera front pages during the last four or five months.

                        No, they not mailed to @myopera.com - how you can run a mail service and not email the user thru it ? Also, like i said, there was another login possibility without the startpage. When you saved My Opera Mail user interface on Speed Dial you logged in through another log-in window, there where no warnings. And don't forget the people who used mail-clients.

                        It is inexcusable what Opera did. For many people it was the only Mail-Service and they not emailed the people @myopera.com

                          I've also had no warning. The only e-mail I've got from Opera is from 2011 welcoming me to the service.

                            I confirm that the team MyOpera never sent me any email and I had no way of knowing that this service would close.
                            But maybe the team MyOpera did not know how to send an email to users to officially notify??
                            Really, they are laughing at us!

                              No one ever sent an email to my acount or by any other means warned me about this shutting. And i'm an Opera massive user. I have personal and professional cards with this email address printed. This sudden shut down doesn't look good to Opera brand... Please, return the mail server. I don't remember no one ever telling me this email account would be temporary, since i wouldn't ever used it for start.

                                I do not believe that the company will not present to give an explanation, it would be a grave mistake and irresponsible it may cost the closure of the company.

                                  If you lost your email, really... you have only yourselves to blame. If email is important to you, then back it up on your own machine (especially an external hard drive). I only use webmail and I do this since I don't trust servers to keep it secure. For months Opera have warned us that this would happen. If you are using a free service (and you never paid anything for this) then it was your responsibility to visit the community from time to time to familiarize with what was going down. Don't blame Opera for your own mistakes in judgment.

                                    I can only blame Opera, because i can only make judgements on information i get. And the truth is i got no information about this. It's a terrible lack of communication. Internal communication, by the way. If Opera cannot even communicate within its circle, how can it expect to grow?

                                      Let's not play the blame game, leushino. Whatever the reasons, many people -- it would appear -- haven't been informed and haven't been able to make a backup, and if Opera's in a position to help them out, I think they should.

                                        When you plan something, you just tell once and then six months later you do it with no reminding ?

                                          It was NOT announced.
                                          This crappy service, all design and no content let their users down.
                                          I'll tell anyone. I'm really angry.

                                            This is a copy of the e-mail i received on december 19th 2014 regarding the end of My Opera:

                                            On Thu, 19 Dec 2013 06:54:46 -0200, My Opera wrote:

                                            for us to meet with you. We have had much great interaction with you in

                                            forums and blogs. This whole idea of giving you a place where you could
                                            blog, share photos and send emails turned into an interesting, and very
                                            large, side project. Over the years, we've seen social media, blogging
                                            sites and new messenger services pop up that offer more and better
                                            features than we could possibly maintain. These offerings are their sole
                                            business. You all know their names and you probably use their services
                                            already.

                                            The explosion of these sites and the amount of resources we need to
                                            maintain our own service has changed our outlook on My Opera. We had a
                                            good run for many years, but we believe your content could have a better
                                            home elsewhere, so we have made the decision to shut down My Opera as of
                                            March 1, 2014.

                                            Your My Opera email account will also be discontinued on this date.
