Hi,

I'm inside network where all ports except 80 an 443 are blocked (proxy is used to reach outside URLs). Do you plan to support such case by your built-in VPN service?

I'd like to know how to stop Opera Dev. from doing this.

Control Panel > Default Programs > Set Default Programs > Select Opera > Set the defaults for this program > Mark all but Mailto
Then select Thunderbird and make sure Mailto is selected.
I guess it may help.

I've done that several times, but the problem is that every time Opera Dev. starts up, it changes the mailto default back to itself from whatever I have set it to (in this case, Thunderbird).
It's obviously rewriting the mailto entry in the Registry, and I imagine that it's because Opera might again have a built-in email client. That's fair enough, but my email system in Thunderbird is carefully set up to filter, classify and archive "stuff", and that's the client I plan to keep using for the moment. I'm happy to use an Opera email client (as used to be the case) under some circumstances, but I do not want it to be the default mailto - not least because it will have no connection to my Thunderbird Address Books, where outgoing email addresses are stored by default.

I've now sorted this out. The problem arose because of Settings>Privacy>Handlers, where Gmail was set as a handler site. Delete that and it's now OK.
