Se eu soubesse que aqui tb se falava português, tinha sido um pouco mais cáustica. A boa notícia é que agora já não teimo em usar o Opera - e não é que tudo funciona melhor?
Há males que vêm por bem.

Leushino, now you start looking like a true PR
Thank's for the respectfull message.

It's not him, it's her. Thank you. I'm a portuguese 37 year old woman, who works in the creative industry as a communication specialist. I didn't use myopera mail as my main address, although it was the prefered address to communicate with some circles - like the University where I'm doing my masters research, for instance, and a platform, "Alice for Good", wich is a non-profit advertisement agency trying to gather professionals around social causes, for wich I applyed using myopera mail and to wich account I won't return. About my masters there won't be a problem - thanks for the concern

Although I never was an eletronic expert, Opera Browser seemed nice - with different looks, well organised, an alternative team, and for some time I spread the word around my small circle of friends, coleagues and customers. Despite all the problems the browser had, I never stopped using it - altough I even had to access myopera mail page on Firefox, because most of the times it didn't load in it's own browser. I just kept the browser for saving bookmarks, wich I already exported to both Chrome and Firefox - I'm still choosing wich one to use from now on, but Chrome seems a good option (for what I read here, the new Opera is following it's steps).

Unfortunately, Opera really did shut myopera mail without notifying it's users to myopera mail address. I don't know why some of you are in such denial. If you love Opera so profoundly, you should try and solve this communications questions. A brand is made of both Image and Identity - one reflecting the other, back and forward. I have one question for you: are you getting payd to do Opera's defense? Maybe you're not. And this question ought to be treated by someone in charge, and not been left out here in this forum. Did you realise that no official information came up recently?

Best regards. Believing is fine, just don't get too blind - it's not good for business. As told previously, good luck.

No, the reason why I'll do this is because it is how it works. When one believes in something, one recommends it.
Opera doesn't even has a proper Communication Office to do the crisis management... If we, the users, will learn something from this shutting, Opera should do the same. Sometimes, it's cheaper to prevent the damages.

I'll tell anyone about this lousy service, all design, no content brand.

Right. That's why I already migrated to another browser. Opera never worked properly, anyway. It's very nice looking, but beauty isn't enough in the end, is it? Solidity, respect and compromise are the basics... At least, I tried.
Good luck.

I've never seen anything like this happening. Hilarious!

In this case, one email isn't enough - for not saying no email at all, wich is something you are not managing to recognise. Anyway, I'm sure Opera doesn't need negligent users like ourselves. I'll spread the word.

Not to my address. Anyway, just one email message? When the "team" doesn't believe their own product, why should we?
Thanks for the info.
