      Opera 11.63, I use a certain mailing service - open it every time I start the browser.
      And of late there's started showing a BS announcement/"proposition" at the top coloured with my browser's custom skin colour:

      Opera is cited as a mail client.
      Use blablabla [that page's URL] as a mail client?

      And three "options" on the right of that BS: "Allow", "Never", and "× Done" (the last is within a single button - so I can't hit either "cancel" ("×") or "Done" separately).

      What should I do?
      I've already hit that "×" several times, it hid - but it keeps popping up again after a short time, and it annoys me 😕
      There's no "right-clicking" in that area, nor any help/info getting found in the settings... I wouldn't like to hit "Allow" - I'm absolutely unaware of the consequences, not willing to hit "Never" either (yet) - cause I've no idea should I regret it later...

      What is this shit anyway?
      I've never ever used any "clients" before, with an exception of one on a cellphone...

        @joshl, From what you have said, and the description you have given, I would personally click 'Never'. Because in my opinion, that option tells me that I am letting it/them know that I do not wish to use that other (blablabla) client that they are offering me, and to not bother be ever again.

        But that just my take on things, going by your description.

          It's not other client.
          First, it's that same site/page/service. I wouldn't mind to do something in terms of using it somehow... though I'm using it already not having any trouble nor clients;)
          Would you guess it's Opera (the browser) that wants something to me?

            Ah, I think I now understand joshl, it looks like your mail provider has updated the mail view (page) for the mail service they offer you, and are asking you if you wish to use this new view (page). It sounds a lot like what Yahoo did quite a few years ago with their on-line mail viewer, asking people to try the new version of their mail page. But I and a lot of other users found it very slow, and went back to the old one pretty swiftly.

            Sorry joshl, I don't know any more than that (unless someone else can shed some light on which option is best for Opera 11.63), otherwise the choice is up to you.

            Oh btw, I don't use Yahoo any more, as the service was rubbish and too limited and bossy for their free account.

              I don't think the "blablabla".mail service has something to do with that:

              1. the "proposition" is in Russian, not that site's language I set;
              2. the "pop-up" is coloured with my CUSTOM browser skin colour(!!!) and NEVER ever responds to right-clicking (if it were part of the site - it WOULD!).
                Am I right?

                What is the URL (web address) that is given in the message you quoted in your first post, is it an Opera URL (web address) ?.

                    It's mbox.i.ua.
                    I tell that because I just started to unlike it. Please can somebody advise me about what services I should consider to move to?

                      Which happens to be the page you are currently viewing ?, or is it another address ?.

                                  What's wrong with your punctuating skills?
                                  Or are you maintaining some BIG NAILS? 🐧

                                        Sorta my XP is kinda doomed.

                                        Using my Google Chrome today, pages stopped loading, once crashed, had this system pop-up: .

                                        Then some tabs' panes went blank - of a dark grey colour.
                                        I closed the browser, but the main (content) frame of my currently running player appeared grey-blank as well.

                                        Tried using IE - Facebook didn't load...

                                        Phoned Microsoft. They said I'd better replace my OS or at least reserve-recovery...

                                        CHKDSKed drive C - rebooted...
                                        Adobe Flash Player popped up with an update - looked o'k, but then some Java "resumed update" appeared, opened my Opera and said like "something went wrong"...

                                        Opera's working now... More or less - as usual...

                                          I accessed my Chrome after the CHKDSK, cleared the cache at last...
                                          Other browsers too seem working*🆙*

                                            I guess CHKDSK really helped - appeared I've got some extra 1 GB space on drive C now*🆙*
