What you're unhappy with relates to the features you want -- like the built in mail client. So sorry about that. You're dead right about the New Opera's beautful interface. But that's not all. It's faster, a pleasure to use, gets to sites the old Opera couldn't access anymore. And provides for a range of extensions that accelerate the work of the browser. And that's only to focus on a few of the improvements. . It's also being worked on by Opera, and makes possible continued refinements. Better can become -- and will -- even better still. It's nice to be part of something that's a happening.

This post is more of the same. You had (a) feature(s) and without it the browser is no good. Ok, suck up your gut and move on. We've been here before. This is an old record. This thread ought to be closed.
