Twice in recent weeks, both my incoming mail and 'Trash' older than about 20 days disappeared. I contacted FASTMAIL about it who say that it is a function of my e-mail client - which I assume is Opera and my IMAP setting. I checked that but found nothing that would indicate such an action or default.

Every once-in-a-while I need to refer to an old e-mail and I want to be able to delete old e-mails myself, both still in the Incoming, and in the Trash.

How can I be assured that NOTHING disappears unless deleted by myself?

I recently got a new PC and I have Windows 8.1 and Opera 12.16, but use the Chrome browser and Fastmail, and my address is @operamail.com.

I'm sorry I'm dense. You say 'See...' - see what? Where do I find 'Output Format'?

As I said earlier, I'm not tech-savvy, but I am eager to learn!

Thank you for your patience.

please explain CVS: how do I pick CVS, and how and where did I pick Tab-limited?

And what is the consequence - and advantage - of picking either one?

I followed Hallvord's advice, but wound up with a long regular text list of my many contacts, which I saved in a .docx document.

Now, How can I convert that .docx list into a computer-usable file that will allow me to click on a specific name to open 'Compose'?

I recently got a new computer, with Windows8, and downloaded Opera 12.16. There appeared to be some incompatibility, and I switched to Chrome. (My previous computer had had WindowsXP and Opera 12)

I had enabled Opera-Link, which helped me transfer Mail and Bookmarks. But it did not transfer my Contacts; they are still in my Opera browser, in an .adr file. I am now getting my @operamail.com mail through Fastmail on Chrome, but cannot access my Contacts for composing and sending.

I can't open that .ext file. Would that enable me to instruct the server to leave the messages forever?

If so, I'll download one of those conversion programs. Can you recommend a safe one?

EVERYTHING disappeared before November 27, even trash!

The Incoming window does not give me the option to leave messages on server. I took a screen shot but don't know how to attach it.

But my last computer didn't have that option either; yet, no e-mails ever disappeared. Occasuinally I would keep one or another for months.

ny e-mail disappears after about a week. Where did they all go? I don't want it to disappear ever. I want to be in charge of deleting.

This is in my very new computer, with Opera 12.16 and Windows 8. Before I had Opera 12, and Windows XP.

In my old computer I was able to have my gmail automatically go into my opera browser mail. I now tried to add it (in chat-mail accounts), but it gives me the following error message:
"The IMAP server reported an error. Invalid credentials (Failure)"

I now have Opera 12.16 aand Windows8; before I had Opera12, and WindowsXP.

help, please!

is there a eay I can be notified when someone answers my Opera Forum?

How do you delete the fixed signature phrase "Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/" in outgoing e-mails?
I have a new computer and downloaded Opwea 12.16.

And, while I'm at it: whenever I open Opera, a small window pops up asking me whether I want to upgrade. Can I get rid of that?

what would happen if I actually downloaded the 25 version now in a different folder, such as "my documents"? would that kill my existing version 12 which is in Program Files?

I just enabled Opera Link which, I understand, will get all my data (mail, bookmarks, contacts) into my new Opera browser. Is that correct?

In that case, should I perhaps just download the latest browser? It is important to me that my mail be available immediately without my having to access another website such as fastmail.

Is there any way I can actually see now, before downloading it, what the 25 version looks like?

Thank you very much for trying to help me.

First, to grierzo: I went to "mail and chat accounts" and noticed that I have 3 of them: one for google, which is never used; and two operamail, one imap and one pop (it just says pop, not pop3). I do not know which one is actually used.

Now to burnout426:

Currently, my Opera is in Program Files, and I copied it from there into my hard drive. So, I assume, I will move it from there into Users\user\AppDatea\Roaming in the new computer (which will have Windows8.1 - I now have WindowsXP).

Re your second move, my path does not show "local settings"; also, it's "all users: not "user".

So I could understand the process, I opened the fft... site that you mention; there is no option to download it - it's just a list of 30 Directory files. When I left-click it, if gives me one file "pub"; when I right-click it, the options include "open in new window"; "copy link address"; "save linked content as"; "save to Download folder". One I know how to download it, I assume that I would do all that in the new computer?

Though I have read your instructions carefully, I'm still quite confused.

Perhaps you could confirm, or restate, the steps I need to take to install my current Opera12 on my new computer:

1. as said above, I'll move it from my external hard drive to Users\user\AppData\Roaming

2. I'll move another copy of it into Users\user\AppData\local (assuming that both these paths will exist on my new computer!)

3)please explain how I can download the fft://fft... site you mention

4)Since I'll be moving from WindowsXP, 32-bit to Windows8.1, 64bit, will I need to insert the (86x)after program files?

5. If I understand correctly, if all of the above goes well, my browser (client) operamail will naturally be part of it; Will I have to reregister in "mail & chat accounts"? as imap?

Again, I really appreciate your guidance.

I just dragged to my external hard disc the two OPERA folders I found in Program Files (Opera6.adr, and the big one, consisting of 25 files/folders - I now have Opera 12.
If I then drag all this to my new computer (with Windows 8.1), would that allow me to keep on using this old version of mine?

I'm afraid that if I now download opera 25, it will push out version 12 forever.

what do you mean "there is no mail client" - I want my mail to pop us instantly when I open my browser. I also absolutely do like the side panel.
I understand that up to Opera 15, there were the old features. Can I download Opera15?

I should get my new computer in a couple of days and expect to download the latest OPERA version.
How will I transfer all my browser Opera mail (received and sent) to the new computer?

I did click File > Export (both Bookmarks and Contacts, though only the bookmarks seem to be there) into my external hard drive; and I assume I'll be able to drag it over to the new computer.

Could I please have step-by-step instructions?

what ARE the features of Opera25? Does it still provide browser e-mail? Does it still allow keystrokes (such as "z" for back)?

I'm interested in PC features.

what do you mean: that I can download Opera 12, or that I can drag it over; or that opera 25 has the same features?

I'm getting a new PC, but like my current browser (OPERA 12). Can I download that from the Opera website? or can I drag it onto my external hard-drive and then on to the new PC (how do I make sure I get all parts?)?

OR: can Opera 25 be figured to provide the same features, such as keystrokes, browser mail, etc?
