it is useful if I post a synopsis of my approach?

It appears to be processing rooughly double the amount of actual messages that end up in "received".

OK. I found them. they are all in received, but the email count on received is "1", yet there are 70,000!
i notice that when I label them, there is no indication of the number of emails in the label. is this a "feature"

there do not appear to be any "sent" messages recovered.
can I get them back?

the same thing has happened to me.

• so far I have checked the database
• loaded opera mail, imported from opera and all IT PROCESSED but no mail shows up
• i followed the above, loaded the first account, it processed for 3 hours, showing all the emails as they are "processed"loaded, then nothing shows up.

i an current reloading that account.
(also do not understand the "send to sent" thing as it only allows you to send one email.

i just did that. the same thing happened. it loaded and "processed" all the files, then NOTHING shows up.

thats next. i am going carefully. if there are any detailed instructions ...

When I install opera mail, and select option and set it for the opera browser location,
then select opera browser as the method
it takes a LONG time loading, but only shows the 66 messages.

the messages are there!
there must be some way to see them

Sheena.

when i try to import it asks for the location of the accounts.ini file, which is hidden in the directory and I cannot choose it.

I have old opera integrated. 12.16
