Does Opera have an email client and, if so, how do I install it?

I've been using Thunderbird for my emails but now it's telling me I have to compress my files and folders but the last time I did that I lost hundreds of emails and folders and was never able to recover them. I don't want to go through that nightmare again. So I'm looking for a new email client. Opera is my default browser and I'm hoping you also handle emails. If there isn't one in Opera could you please suggest a good stable email client that can handle email accounts from various places like gmx, outlook, yahoo, etc?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your prompt response. In me looking, I had seen some references to an old client but I thought for sure, Opera would have a current one. Do you have any suggestions for another email client?
Thanks. -

There are some things you can do in Thunderbird to get around your problem.

If that doesn't work, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/maildir-thunderbird and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Maildir for how to switch mail storage to maildir. While it's experimental, it works fine for new accounts in a new profile. In that case, you could rename your profile , set everything up fresh with maildir support and then use the import/export tools extension to import your messages back. A lot of work to solve the problem, but so is switching to a new client.
