To all the other guys: thanks for the suggestions! I will make a list of it and have a look at all of them. However, i use the standalone Opera Mail because is use the Blink-Opera and using more than one browser together can be troublesome at times (and i don't need two browsers but one mail application ^^). However, i understood your suggestion and will keep it in mind also. Thanks a lot so far!

@sydneyneto: This program has SO many bugs, it nearly is senseless to try to fix them! However, i have your solution from the expired forums (i guess):

This registry entries connect Opera Mail with the corresponding protocols like it should do by itself:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OperaMail.protocol]
@="OperaMail.protocol"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OperaMail.protocol\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Mail\operamail.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OperaMail.protocol\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OperaMail.protocol\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OperaMail.protocol\shell\open\command]
@=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Mail\operamail.exe" "%1""

If you don't like it's wrongly set name, use:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\OperaMail\Capabilities"

and edit the "ApplicationName" freely.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestion; most of them were already known to me, but i liked Opera Mail a lot. However, the tons of bugs are really a problem! -.- And since no one knows more about the development question and Opera Software keeps telling us nothing, what are you guys experiences with the lesser known mail clients like "The Bat" and such? There are still several out there but it mostly is better to ask the user instead of reading just an applications description. Maybe anything lightweight and simple but with all the essential features like Opera Mail? Who uses what and why?

Guys, thanks for all the informations and suggestions. I don't know, i do not receive email notifications from the forum here even when activated, so i did not know someone has answered!

The thing that really worries me is, that there is no information policy on the future plans with the mail client. It would be enough to know that there will be such a thing in the future so i would stay with the bugged thing for so long instead of using another one and than maybe have to switch back again. Conversion of mails and adress books can be troublesome and much manual work in the end sometimes.

Hey there,

is anyone havin any informations about Opera Mail and if it will get further development or not?

Since it was ripped out of version 12.xx and became stand-alone, it stayed on it's very first version wich IS A COLLECTION OF BUGS OF ALL KINDS to mention it by its name.

I just want to kno if i have to look for another mail client or if further wating for updates makes any sense. However, all my attempts to get an official statement where just ignore whoever or wherever i ask (and i thought the companies have learned about communication policies these days ... semme there is an exclamation from everything, huh?).

So, does anybody know anything about this?
