OK. Are these IMAP accounts all with the same provider? If you can set up a free account with another provider and test an IMAP account with it, maybe it'll work for that one and then we can see what's up with your regular ones.

No, of different. I also thought about that But they behave exactly the same.

How do you have your taskbar configured? Anything different than default with your systray icons?

No, standard configuration. And I changed nothing at all - just made IMAP accounts.

What OS?
Win 7 64x. I also use Avast Free Antivirus but I tried to turn it off completely - no changes.

But, if you're done messing around, I'd just use Thunderbird.

I thought about that. For the last week I tried: Mailbird, Postbox, eM Client, Mozilla Thunderbird - but I didn't like them.
Mailbird and eM Client are great (though they cost some money) but they do not have RSS-reader. Mozilla Thunderbird has RSS reader but this program looks totally different than Opera Mail. i tried to work with it but... I can't. I so got used to Opera Mail that I think it is the most comfortable, effective and simple client in the world. Can you imagine how upset I am? Today I will install Outlook 2013 - may be it will be good.

By the way, if Opera Mail takes about 70-80Mb of system memory, Mailbird and eM Client take 130-150 and even more Mb ((

Any change if you minimize Opera Mail so you're not looking at it? Any change if you ctrl + alt + shift + h to minimize Opera Mail to the tray?

No changes

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

Any change if you click the 'Inbox" IMAP folder view under the you@example.com access point for an account?

No changes

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

I know you said only on startup, but when you manually check with the check/send button -> check all on the mail panel toolbar, what does that do as that's not an automated check?

If there is new email it simply gets in Unread list - no notifications at all.

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

Do you always have "do not make messages available offline" set? Or was that just set for testing?

I tried different variants of this setting - no effect.

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

I should mention though that if you uncheck "check messages every..." the IDLE connection will eventually time out and you won't get new messages after that unless you manually check or restart Opera.

I know that. I tried it just for experiment. I always use 5 min interval. Also tried 10 min but no changes for my problem.

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

You don't happen to have low-bandwidth mode enabled for the account or "do not download attachments" set, do you? They shouldn't affect notifications, but you can disable them if they're enabled to see if that helps.

Tried to turn on/off these settings - no effect.

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

You can modify the offline setting on the "incoming" tab in the account's properties. Set it to "make all messages available offline", which will make Opera always automatically download all messages in full including all existing messages, but maybe it'll work around the issue.

Tried this - no effect.

As I wrote the most strange thing about this - everything works great when I start Opera Mail. I hear sound notifications and see popup notifications. But then (while the program is running), if I get new emails - no notifications at all! They just appear in the list of Unread and that's all (

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

It's normal and shouldn't cause a problem.

Then we should say that it is really some Opera Mail bug and I am very upset that I can do nothing with it. I love Opera Mail and I use it about 6 years already... But if I get no notifications about new incoming mails - that is very very very bad...

@einsteinxxl said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

That's IMAP IDLE (aka push) happening there. You can turn that off by closing down Opera and editing incomingN.txt for >the account where N is the number for the account as seen in accounts.ini if you ever wanted to.

But can this cause my problem or it is normal?

@burnout426 said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

Ok. Just to rule out something with your profile, you can download the Opera Mail installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "Standalone installation" and install. In that Opera, set up all your IMAP accounts and your sound file. If it works there, then then you know it's something messed up with your normal profile.

Thanks for your advice. I did as you wrote but I got exactly the same problem with standalone installation ((
While experimenting with account options I found out one strange thing: whatever check interval I make - all new emails come to me immediately after sending (from another mailboxes). I even unmarked this option (screenshot) but I see no affect - new emails appear immediately in Opera mail. Isn't it strange?

Close down Opera Mail and look at operaprefs.ini in the preferences folder (see "Menu > Help -> About Opera" for the location). Make sure that "Show Notification For New Messages" is NOT in there under [User Prefs]. Or, if it is there, make sure it's set to 1.

"Show Notification For New Messages" is NOT in there under [User Prefs] in my operaprefs.ini

In "Menu -> Mail and Chat accounts -> the account -> edit -> Incoming", make sure "Play sound when new messages arrive" is checked and make sure a wav file is chosen.

This option is checked and file is ok. Besides, as I previously mentioned, everything works great right after program start.

Make sure "Include this account when checking for new mail" is set. And, make sure the check interval is between 4 and 30 minutes so that IMAP IDLE doesn't time out.

I use 10 min interval.

By "changed", you mean you deleted the POP accounts and create new accounts that were IMAP (as opposed to just changing the server name and port to IMAP ones in the POP accounts)? As in, in "Menu -> Mail and Chat accounts", it says "IMAP" for the type?

Yes, I deleted POP accounts and created new accounts with IMAP. I know how to do that

Конечно же стоит, я ж не первый год пользуюсь этой программой. Но я говорю: когда все ящики работали на POP протоколе, таких проблем никогда не было, ни разу, всё как часы работало. Сделал ящики на IMAP - сразу же началось.
На POP было даже такое: принудительно вручную обновляешь почту (кнопка Принять/Отправить), и если новых писем нет, то по каждому из ящиков всплывало уведомление, что новых писем нет. Теперь, будучи на IMAP, обновляешь - никакой реакции, даже если есть новые письма...

@operasilver40
Проблема в том, что при запуске клиента, если есть новые письма, то я слышу и звук и вижу всплывающие уведомления. Но их нет во время работы программы, по мере того как приходят новые письма. Они просто появляются в папке "Входящие", но уведомлений об этом я не получаю.
Т.е. звуки подключены все верно, всё работает, но только на старте...

@sgunhouse said in OPERA MAIL - no notifications when using IMAP:

Popup should always be working ... it does fetch your new mail?

Yes, I get all new mails but no popups and no sound. The only time I see all notifications is right after the program start.
