OperaMail is still in the stone age as far as its interface goes! No HTML composition (even this review interface allows bold and italic!). Cannot import complete data from common existing email clients (E.G. Netscape/Mozilla). Cannot save emails without 3rd party software. And more...
OperaMail composition is very rudimentary, with only a 70’s-80’s interface (yes, I mean 70’s, it’s just crude text manipulation, not even decent line/word wrap)
Add to this an arcane and ill-defined method of ’classifying’ mails (’filters’??) to obviate the need of folders. Give users (virtual) folders anyway.. they don’t need to know they don’t actually exist. It’s a cleaner categorizing interface. After all folders/directories on operating systems are virtual.
Granted, Opera may be a very good browser, but it’s got a long way to go to be serious about today’s email.
If I’d known all this before I purchased Opera... But then, why should they advertise such obvious weeknesses? I purchased for value added, not just another browser!
