Hi guys,
thanks for all the reply.

I chose the standalone Mail client because I used Opera for a very long time and I used its built-in mail client for years.
Unfortunately I had to ditch the old Opera because more and more pages became sluggish or even non-functional. The 64 bit version of Opera was even less reliable in my experience. I finally switched to a different browser and using two different browsers side by side just to use one's built-in client was not an option.
Opera Mail seemed to be the right choice because it uses the same engine and I hoped the transition will be smooth.
And so it was.
But if it is abandoned by Opera as you guys say I have to find another e-mail client.

Any ideas besides Thunderbird and Outlook?

Thanks in advance,
Imre

This is regarding Opera Mail but I didn't find a dedicated forum for Mail so I'm posting it here.

1. Is there any pan to release a 64 bit version for Windows?
   And please don't tell me the Win32 version is fine because it's not when you have more than 4 gigabytes.

2. When I reply a mail the Composer always starts is Plain Text mode despite the fact that in my preferences I set 'Prefer HTML Formatting'. Is there any way to fix it on my side or is it a bug?

3. It would be nice if the taskbar icon would show some relevant information like 'No new e-mail' or '3 unread e-mail' etc. on mouse hover.

Thanks in advance,
