@leocg said in Add Speed Dial Entry on Windows Surface?:

@opmkstevo Can't you just click/press the heart icon at the right of address bar and choose Speed Dial?

Sadly not. If I 'tap' on the heart icon, I don't get the choice of where to add the site to. Perhaps if I did that with a mouse, I would, but using the touchscreen simply adds it directly to the favourites (or bookmarks, I forget which). The option of a button on the toolbar to add a site to Speed Dial would make life, for me at least, so much easier. Or a button that showed a drop down menu, as it does on the Android version. Or at the very least, an option to add or show such a button in preference to the 'Heart' button that gave the user some choice.

Perhaps I'm the only person who has used Opera on a Surface, without a separate mouse or trackpad, but surely I won't be the last?

Well, I finally 'sorted' this. I had to plug in a USB mouse. Once I did that I was easily able to select all entries in one folder, right click, copy and then paste in the destination Speed Dial.

This would have been much less frustrating, had there been a visible button in the toolbar to add the current page to speed dial. Or some obvious way of adding a visible button to the toolbar.

I love opera, but wow, was this ever hard work?

I have been able to add the entries in a fashion... I found that if I long pressed on a 'Tab' I got a menu option to 'Add all Tabs to Speed Dial folder'. I then opened all speed dial entries from my main Android 'phone, held the first Tab and selected the 'Add all Tabs to Speed Dial folder'. This did indeed create a folder on my speed dial, containing all the tabs. Great! Now I need to figure out how to move them out of the folder, and onto the main Speed Dial page...

How in heck's name am I supposed to add an entry to speed dial on my Windows 10 Surface Pro? I can manually add a URL by clicking on the 'Add' button on the speed dial page, but that seems really tedious for about twenty websites. I can see my (Android) speed dial pages now I'm logged in, but can't for the life of me see how those pages can be added to speed dial. I can open those speed dial entries, but again can't seem to find any way of adding the current page to speed dial. There's got to be a way, but I can't see it.

I find POP more predictable in the way I use mail across multiple clients, on multiple platforms so any wishlist I might build would have POP compatibility as one of my top 'wishes'. However if I could make Vivaldi work with my email hosts that would be better than nothing.

I suppose for Opera, now they've gone down the 'free' route there is little money to be made with an email client so I understand why the mail client was abandoned. The trouble is, for me, that email clients seem to have become unwieldy behemoths of programs, including multiple options I have no desire for but removing many things I'd like to see, such as a way of manually (and simply) marking emails as read, a unified inbox and an easy way to group an locate emails - particularly unread ones - so I can see which emails I need to respond to.

Opera Mail does almost everything I want, and (mostly) very well. If there was an email client I could buy for macOS that worked as well as Opera Mail, looked as good as Opera Mail and had the feature set of Opera Mail, I'd buy it. Trouble is, most of the 'free' ones require that I subscribe to some online services, have annoying adverts or restrictions of one sort or another. The paid ones don't seem to be any better, they also have subscription requirements, annoying adverts or a massive feature set of functions I don't want without any functions I do want. Hence the reason I'm back using Opera Mail again. I've been using Apple Mail but it has started playing up and keeps (silently) losing my SMTP server settings and then defaults to sending my emails through an email server I only use for incoming emails.

I'm sure this isn't the right place to post this message but I couldn't find any more relevant forums, sorry. I've had copies of Opera since the version for Windows 3.1 came out, back when it was a paid for program. I bought and then upgraded to all versions and have enjoyed using it over the years.

To my point:
I'd just like to say how wonderful Opera Mail for Mac is. I know it has long since been discontinued but I think it is a real shame. I had it in mind that I'd read an interview with someone from Opera that hinted a future Opera browser would bring back the integrated mail client. I hope it is true, and I hope it's soon.

Apple Mail is good, Opera Mail for Mac is superb.
Please could it be updated?
Pretty Please?

I don't suppose this will do much good, but I feel better.
