Additional information:

I am running 35.0.2066.37. Opera is listed within the Apps & features list within Windows settings. Opera is not listed as an app within the Control Panel's set your default program.

My default browser changed to Edge after a recent Opera auto update. When I try to make Opera the default browser, by using the Opera settings feature or the Windows default app settings, I do not see Opera listed. I did see Opera listed before the upgrade and it was selected as my default browser.

I would appreciate assistance on setting Opera as my default browser.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I did everything you outlined and I am still experiencing the same delay when 'opening' a message. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Take care,

I have checked and cleaned up my hard drive, but it wasn't bad.

I have learned that I can retrieve the delayed messages instantly by simply closing and restarting Opera Mail. Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

I have the system set to check for messages every 10 minutes and the other options are not selected. I will change the default back to messages available off-line.

More to the point, I will follow you instructions in the last paragraph. Hopefully this will have a positive impact.

I experienced the delay again today; a message body took over three minutes to load. During that time I hit the refresh button a couple of time with no results. While I was waiting I went into my account setup to look at the message option. I have it set to 'Do not make messages available off-line'. I set it to this option the other day thinking it would be quicker.

While I was looking at my account details I noticed that the close button wasn't working. I needed to click on the 'X' in the upper right hand corner to exit the boxes.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

I am interested in this also.

I have that option set to 'Make messages available offline when I click them'. I think this options displays the header but doesn't get the body until I click on the header. The delay happens once I click on the header. Should I use another setting?

I also verified that the low bandwidth option is not enabled; neither is 'Do not fetch message attachment'.

I don't understand the implications of IMAP but I do know this issue isn't consistent. Also, I have an IOS device and their default mail system doesn't experience the issue. I share this because it leads me to believe the issue isn't with my mail server or host (whichever term may be appropriate); but I could be wrong.

Please let me know if you have other suggestions.

I may have found the settings. Are they the ability to work offline options within the incoming server section? If so, which selection should I make if I would like to have access to the emails yet avoid the extended delay I have been experiencing?

Take care,
Bill

I have an IMAP account. Could you please direct me to the settings you referenced? I just checked and didn't find them; but I will keep looking.

Take care,

I have been using Opera Mail for a couple of months. I have experienced situations where the message will take a very long time to load into the reading pane. When I click on the message the message header information appears in the reading pane almost immediately but the text doesn't. There have been times when this delay has taken minutes. When this is happening I can close and reload the mail program and the text will be there.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestion.

I went through the process again and I was successful. I have my preferences in 34.

Thank you!
Bill

I installed 12.17 and there were new folders ...\appdata\roaming\opera\opera (in addition to the ...\opera software\opera stable).

I copied my files into the ...\opera\opera folder. When I started 12.17 my preferences weren't there. Did I put the files in the correct folder?

Take care,
Bill

Thank you for your quick response.

From your comment I assume there will be another Opera folder when I install 12.17. If so, do I simply copy my saved files to the new folder (for the old version)? Once I have my preferences active with the old version, how do I import them into 34?

Take care,

Hi,

I have been using Opera for a handful of years. I recently needed to restore my hard drive to its original state. Before I did, I saved some files from Opera; speeddial.ini, operaprefs.ini, and a couple others. After downloading Opera 34 I copied my saved files into ...\appdata...\opera stable. I thought this would restore my speed dial and other preferences, but it didn't.

I hope someone can provide me with detailed instructions that could help me restore my preferences.

Take care,
Bill
