      Thanks for the tip. This is the only thing I still use from Opera. I wouldn't hold my breath on them doing anything though as this hasn't been updated since they ripped it out from Presto. You'll notice the skin zip is actually the one from the browser too which means it has lots of unused elements. Very lazy on their part

      Well I guess it is possible, but this program as it is will be good to go for next couple of years.

      When I decided to remove old Opera I tried following things:

      Foxmail:
      It is really nice, but I did not managed to import messages successfully to it and I have quite lot of those back from 2005.

      Thunderbird:
      Imported all of the messages, but needed bunch of addons for some things I was used on Opera.
      However, most annoying thing is that I could not get used on the interface. Old Opera mail interface was
      much more elegant and refined. It was it, same layout, but everything was so strange. Probably if used enough I would get used on it.

      ClawsMail:
      Windows version interface sucked very much.

        I tried Thunderbird for awhile as well but I just don't like it's layout and the constant need for useful plugins to be updated with each release was a pain. It's also a little resource heavy for what it is.

        Postbox is built from Thunderbird and imo has a much nicer(more Opera like) layout but it isn't free and has limited plugins available.

        Since I now use Firefox, SimpleMail was a perfect option. I could make it a pinned tab that would always be there when I started the browser with sessions, just like in old Opera BUT, it corrupted some stored emails and proved to be just too buggy. Too bad to because I really do prefer having my mail client as part of the browser.

        So, Opera mail it is. I just wish they would show it some attention but all works well.......for now

          Yes I miss Mail button on Panels section too, I got crazy used on that. I also tried to Operafy Firefox but that failed miserably. I am now trying Chrome parallel with old Opera. I tried Maxthon and some other suite but both were much behind Opera in Mail/Browser integration. Somehow things were not smooth.

          In browser I mostly miss Progress Bar popup at bottom. I could easily tell where is the problem with my site or internet connection just looking on the stuff loading. I also preferred Opera Developer Tools (instead of Chrome and Firebug). Rest of the stuff I use have extensions covered.

          In Chrome I hate Download popup bar. I would really prefer tab with list of downloads.

          Anyway back on topic Opera mail client setup to stay in Tray is quite similar to what I am used on. Different is only Mail button location, and fast switching between links in email.

            To complete steps you can put back Opera Mail shortcut to the Startup section of the Windows.
            Then while there right click on the shortcut and in the Run section set it to Minimized.

            Is there any other way to start Opera Mail minimized, because whit this, it always start in normal window.

                    For those who installed Opera Mail as Portable app (on "USB Stick"), edit operaprefs_default.ini in operaMail folder

                    [User Prefs]
                    ...(other prefs)
                    Show Exit Dialog=2

                          To start it minimized go to put a shortcut into Startup. Right click on it, and under section Run: pick "Minimized".

                                Or another very easy way:

                                1. open new empty mail (CTRL+M)
                                2. Paste into the body mail this:
                                  opera:/button/Hide%20opera%2C%201%2C%2C%22Hide%20Opera%22%2C%20Opera%20Logo
                                3. Close it
                                4. Open Drafts and find that closed mail and click on that link in it's body
                                5. confirm adding new button
                                6. in new opened window go to 'My Buttons' in 'Buttons' TAB
                                7. and use drag&drop for put the newly created 'Hide Opera' button on the panel to which you want
