<![CDATA[Changing Root Directory for Opera Mail]]>Have just installed the self-standing version of Opera Mail and have some questions about configuring it.

  1. I would like to change the mail root directory to another drive. This was easy when Opera Mail
    was part of the Opera browser [manually change it in operaprefs.ini]. This same configuration
    file exists for Opera Mail, so do I enter the command Mail Root Directory=E:\INTERNET\Opera Mail
    under "[Mail]"?

  2. Is it possible to import all my previous mail files from Opera (v11.64) into the self-standing
    Opera Mail? Am I right in assuming that this will happen automatically when I change the root
    mail directory? I regularly access my archive of old messages, so this is very important.

  3. And last, how do I import my addresses from the Opera Browser into Opera Mail?

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  • Yes

  • Just copy the 11.64 mail folder into the new one. Or, as you said, point it to the old directory.

  • Save contacts.adr from 11.64 and then Settings > Import and Export > Import Opera contacts
