Outlook - Impossible to compose a new email message on a separate window

Hello.
I'm new with Opera browser and overall I think it is worth a try.
Problem is that I use Outlook as my main email app.

I'm having a problem and on the web app everytime I'm writing a new email message and I try to use the "open on a separate window" feature, the new emerging window never downloads.

Does anybody knows how to fix this?

Thanks

I can confirm.

Try this.

Right-click on your desktop, goto "New" and choose "shortcut".

In the create shortcut dialog, browser to opera.exe in Opera's install folder. You can find the install folder path by going to the URL opera://about.

Click Next.

Name the shortcut Opera as Chrome and click finish.

Then, right-click on the "Opera as Chrome" shortcut, goto "properties" and edit the target field.

In the target field, after the command to opera.exe, add a space and then:

"--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

so that it looks like:

"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

for example.

Then, click apply and ok out.

Then, with Opera closed, start Opera with that "Opera as Chrome" shortcut and try things out.
