Manage Your Email with Opera

July 23, 2012 · by Anna Rohleder

One of the top features of Opera 12 is a new and improved email service built right into the browser. Opera Mail not only helps you manage your messages - it works as a newsreader too, keeping you up to date with all the blogs, podcasts and magazines you follow.

If you happen to be in the market for a new email service, let us show you what's on the Opera Mail menu!

  • Manage your existing email accounts from one place
    • From Gmail to Thunderbird, you can add the email accounts and clients you're already using to Opera Mail in just a few steps.
  • Get the news now - read it at your convenience

    • Opera Mail can collect updates for Atom, RDF Site Summary and RSS newsfeeds. Once you set up the services you want to subscribe to, those items are stored on your computer so you can read them later, even when you are offline.

  • Make it work for you
    • Just like in the browser, there are lots of settings you can change in Opera Mail so that it works the way you want it to. Apart from that, you can also take advantage of keyboard shortcuts to save time, especially for routine actions, from attaching files to a message to saving someone's address as a new contact.

Are you using Opera Mail already? What's most useful for you?

    Yep, I do know that. Funny, though, that some people using Opera still don't. Hence this article, I see.

    Always use M2

  • GonzaloMonday, July 23, 2012 11:21:27 AM

    M2 is great, but needs a bit more love. When it was launched it was much better than the competition, but lost some ground recently.

    there's loads of stuff in opera that lots of people don't know about. you should do some more of these "feature" spotlights.

  • MariusMonday, July 23, 2012 12:53:17 PM

    you do not mention "my opera mail" - mail.myopera.com . :p:

  • PengeMonday, July 23, 2012 1:05:25 PM

    I use both M2 and RSS. But it's time to develop the RSS: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1377892

  • Eli MitchellMonday, July 23, 2012 5:04:46 PM

    Mail is one of the distinguishing features in Opera. It should be constantly improved and maintained.
