I completely agree. Now there is no quick differentiation between the side bar and the main window. And I can't stand the all black theme. If Opera doesn't change this soon I will simply use Chrome from now on. Does anyone from Opera read these forums?

So far so good, thank you for your help

Thanks.

I see:

Should I be adding to this line: Sent= ?

Sent=INBOX.Sent maybe?

Thanks for your help

@burnout426 Yes, sorry

When I change the IMAP folder to Inbox.sent and press ok the app hangs and doesn't recover.

Is there a setting in an ini file I can change to fudge this? Thanks in advance

@burnout426 said in Opera Mail crashes on startup after adding new account:
Problem is, Opera Mail is buggy and missing a bunch of settings.

Too right Do you have any recommendations for Outlook alternatives? Thanks

After choosing to use the Photos app in Windows 10 to open photos in Opera Mail I can't open them and get the following error:

the code execution cannot proceed because sharedlibrary.dll was not found

Any idea how to fix this? Currently the only way for me to view pictures in emails is to save them to my computer first and then open them - quite inconvenient. Thanks.

@burnout426 Ha, I had no idea it was discontinued. Maybe my choice of email client wasn't a smart one. Thanks for your help.

@burnout426

This is an imap account. It first happened when I had Secure connection (TLS) unchecked for incoming and outgoing and chose AUTH PLAIN as the method. As soon as Opera Mail tried to sync the app crashed.

On setting it up this time I have checked the TLS boxes and it now works fine.

I've found the .ini file....I was able to manually delete the offending account from the file and it now starts up.

Now to find out why Opera Mail crashes like this when I choose the wrong credentials...
