After using Operas mail client since 2003, I have become tired of the mess in the configuration files during the many upgrades between the versions. I have spent many hours trying to figure out things, but you need to be an expert to sort it out. The mail is stored in *.mbs files, right now I have 36502 of them. I easily imported them into Thunderbird, wich is my email client of choice this time. I will continue using Opera as my #1 web browser, but I think I have given Opera enough time trying to prove their email client is something for me.
