        12.17 can't really update. It should install the current version of the new Opera (29) along side of your old Opera, but the old Opera is not removed - and if you continue to run it, will keep reminding you there is a new Opera.

            Just go to Settings>Preferences>Advanced>Security and switch off update notifications.
            There will almost certainly never be any more updates for 12.17 itself ;_; , so there's no point in having it enabled anyway.
            🙂

                    Your replies have helped me to realise what has happened! I do now have Opera 29, love it! Flies!. However, it looks like no email?

                        Opera Blink (Opera 15+) should import your settings (or most of them at least) from Opera Presto.
