      I use Opera Mail for more than 12 years.

      Things that I love about it are:

      • customizable interface,

      • it is fast even with 30K+ messages,

      • easy to use (fast learning curve),

      • fast search,

      • Messages can have following states: Unread (bold blue), Read (bold black), Marked as Read and Pinned

      • Custom Flag options for categorization

      • Dictionary for English words

      What I don't like about it are:

      • You removed option to enter the exact font size of the text (Increase/decrease font size isn't good enough),

      • No table editor,

      • It jams more time then I would like and even breaks sometimes (fortunately one mostly doesn't lose his work when this happens),

      • HTML editor is very buggy and it has serious issues with content copied from MS Office documents,

      • User can't take a look at a HTML code of the whole email and manually fix the HTML issues (please add this feature).

      • No support for PGP/GPG and S/MIME.

      The thing that annoys me the most about Opera Mail is its HTML editor.

      It's is just no where near MS Outlook or TinyMCE with stability and options.

      I understand that there needs to be a lot of work to make it as powerful as MS Outlook, but at least you can fix bugs and errors in features that are already there.

      Here are a few that I can remember:

      • Number/unordered lists copied from MS Office documents do not stay lists,

      • Nesting lists inside a list when it is copied from a web page doesn't look as it should

      • The size of spacing between two rows can vary significantly. Option two choose < br> or <p></p> would be much appreciated.

      • Inserting image on the right of the text isn't possible,

      • Practically, there are no options for working with images

      I urge other forum members to support this post by stating what Opera Mail features they like and don't like and hopefully we could make a pressure on Dev team to implement some of them. 🙂

          I hope you are wrong 🙂
          Even though I have read the https://forums.opera.com/topic/2320/opera-mail-is-this-product-discontinued
          I hope Opera will continue to support this great product.

            They won't. As said, Opera Mail is no longer being developed.
