I had about 60k emails in the unified folder listed, and it took some time to sort the mails in the folder.I have experienced a few issues in Opera Mail that I have listed below: Just like Thunderbird does, Opera Mail blocks remote images from being displayed right away, with options to whitelist accounts so that images are displayed all the time. in the sidebar, and select the mail account that you want to display messages from. For that you right-click on a blank spot in Opera Mail, e.g. One interesting feature is the ability to filter the display by mail account. Opera displays a unified mailbox at the very top where messages from all accounts are listed in.Â The email sidebar furthermore lists mailing lists that you are subscribed to or are receiving messages from, labels, attachments sorted by type, and after that inbox and sent folders for all accounts individually.Įspecially the attachments listing and the unified inbox need to be mentioned here as it may speed up access to attachments that you receive.

Once you have imported your first account you will notice several differences right away. This is done with a click on File > Compact Folders.

If you do not want deleted messages to be imported into Opera, compact the mail folders before you start the import.

Having said that, Mozilla's priority switch gives me an opportunity to look at other desktop email clients to see if they are good Thunderbird alternatives. It is still a perfectly fine email client for many users, and that is not really going to change in the near future. While that does not mean that Thunderbird will be discontinued anytime soon, it means that the email client will only receive stability and security updates from Mozilla, and -maybe- improvements or additional features from members of the community. Having used Thunderbird for several years I was quite disappointed by Mozilla's announcement to move development priorities to other projects.
