I have a backup of many of my emails from @myopera.com but I didn't log onto the website to use my email and had it forwarded to my phone instead. It was a great service that never failed me. While I would greatly enjoy/appreciate/need access to @myopera.com again I understand that many people have posted that this has been announced for many months on other websites, Opera sites, but that (at least the whole consensus) that it was never sent to their @myopera.com users. It doesn't make me feel confident about using their web browser for future use. Some might say it is not related, but I didn't know I would not have access to my email suddenly. I hope they will come up with a solution, but, I feel this is very unlikely. Good luck to everyone.

Much ado about nothing. People were warned about the closure of ther @myopera.com accounts months ago, with an email too. When you sign up for such free services, you should read the Terms of Service, and take on board that you alone are responsible for you own data. If its so important, why didn't you back it up? Why do you expect Opera ASA to foot the bill for your own remissness?
If you want to retain your email in the new version, just copy your mail folder across. The standalone client uses the same format as the old built-in mail client. The changes are minor.
As for me, I am staying with the old Opera with built in client for a while longer yet.

There are people like me who only use email. -

That is very sad, that you may have not got any mail and did not want to inform yourself whats happening on your pay-nothing-free-mail platform formerly knwon as myopera.
Now your mails are lost because YOU ignored Terms of Service and Opera News.
Sad.

Well, i did not lose anything but i think the way that opera closed this service was not very professionell.
I already wondered last year that they sent the notification only to my secondary email and not to the @myopera one, i think it was forseeable that this would keep some people out.
And its surely not a big thing to sent a second email...

User agrees that Opera shall not be liable to User or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services." But just because something can be done does not mean it should be done... nor does it define how it ought to be done.
I believe most users of My Opera Mail did so based on trust that Opera would "do the right thing" if it ever had reason to shut down the service. And, while this is only my opinion, I believe most users using common sense would consider the "right thing" to include directly notifying/messaging the accounts being closed. Putting out press releases, making statements on its websites, and sending eMails to separate eAddresses that might or might not be current any longer does not directly inform the affected accounts.
Frankly, it strikes me as a major oversight not to directly message an eMail account, paid or free, that a site operator intends to close. In the business world, that's known as building and maintaining "goodwill" with the customer. In the non-business world, it would be called common courtesy.

As leocg said, they did send an email. I am sure that I also received it, but I don't keep any email unless it's important. If it needs action, I take action, then I delete it. Electrons are inherently unstable — if you need some semi-permanent record, print it out. Buddhists carve the really important stuff on stone tablets.

I DID receive an email that MyOpera would be shutting down. When I responded to that email by going to the MyOpera site it was "there" that I read the entire notice and learned that blogs, forums, photo albums and email would be dismantled and that I had five months to act. I'm not sure why I received this email, Pesala received it, Leo received it but other are claiming otherwise. It's all very odd but in my own case I cannot fault Opera in the least.

Did you receive this mail to your myopera email address ?
I think the point was that the mail was send to the address you used to register at myopera. -

For one moment I thought I wasn't able to post a comment. I can't say I was a heavy user of Opera particularly the mail element. Having said that I had just set Opera as my search provider and was about to complete the process of completing an address book that was without one single error as regards phone numbers (out of date) and Zip Codes.
I can read my e-mails and will now copy them for historical purposes. I can see no reason why this shouldn't be possible although validity in a court or domestic argument may prove rather pointless.
I received NO WARNING about the end of Opera Mail. I had no idea it was even in the wind and I'm surprised that I didn't read about it elsewhere. Where was all the gloating?
Establishing Opera as my search provider had followed yet another article I had read concerning just how good a search provider it is and unlike Chrome and Firefox consumed so much less of memory and download capacity for those who have limitations.
I'm pleased the world hadn't ended for me. If this were to happen to other mail clients, I'd be screwed but at least they would have warned me. This is worrying and now must question if I should dump it for my search activities.
I REPEAT, I HAD NO WARNINGS AND I KEEP EVERYTHING!!

Is it hard to understand, that we talk about people who used @myopera.com as their first mail adress and used the in-box login or a client ? It's Operas fault that they don't mailed to the MyOperaMail adresses and many people never had a clue about the shutdown.
