Ok I downloaded it, got a few widgets for it, so far so good, not quite as good as my good old reliable FrieFox, but its something to play with .

Shoudn't this be in the computer section?

I have always liked Opera it is not as compact as Firefox but I like the inbuilt email option over Firefox's separate Thunderbird.

Opera is the only web browser I've never used...

Has anyone tried Chrome out of curiosity?

Its seems so, my bad, I see sombody moved it for me thanks

Hey guys, Opera is the only web browser I've never used, I've always been a IE, Netscape, FF guy
But I hate AOL, and AOL bought Netscape a long time ago, so I've been useing FF since then, and now AOL has their hand in FF, so just in case I tried Opera.
I did have FF3.0.3, but every time I clicked my bookmarks, it tried to bookmark my homepage, then I did a little research and found a link to Mozilla on AOL's Netscape site, so I've imported my FF bookmarks to Opera now, and so far I'm very pleased with the Preformance, I use a certain webiste to test my webbrowsers, its aces high's main site, IE shows a small video with no sound, FF shows nothing, and Opera shows the video WITH sound. It would seem that Opera has taken teh best of IE and FF and combined it into a web browser that works on multi platforms and operateing systems.
Only thing FF has that Opera doesn't is spelcheck on websites liek this one, so I mispell a word or two now and then bear with me till I learn to spell LOL.

the Compactness isn't an issue with me I have a 250 gig Hdd. I had no problem setting up my email acct, now all I have to do is figure out how to make the mail work and put read messages in the folders (filters) I want to keep hem in and how to send the email there when I want to.
So far I like Thrundebird better as a email client

Hehe I have about 1.2TB of HDD space but I still prefer my software to be compact and efficient as I see it as a sign of a well written bit of software.

I like Thunderbird (and still use it) but I do prefer the idea of a single button browser/mail client and Opera provides that, the only thing that put me off Opera initially was a strange incompatibility that used to see it crash and require a full HD scan before my comp would function again, but that was about 7 or 8 versions ago and it seems very stable now.

Well the version I have is the latest one the put out (9.6) and my browser home page has a local news section from Channel 3 that scrolls, neitheer IE or FF do that. Liek said before all I need is the spelcheck feature, and I'm sure thats a widget somewhere.

But, monty, how do I set the email to save email in certain folders instead of all in one?
And when I try to put something in say the "keep" filter I made it only copys it tothere and if I delete it from the recieven filter its gone from both.
