          7.60 has some long awaited changes in them. Been using it since PR1. When final hits it should be a pretty awesome browser update.

            Opera has an updated 7.54 version that removes a security flaw. Found in the Beta news section. The front page doesn't mention it.

              Never thought I would say this but I think I am going to buy Opera, seems to be the best option at the moment.

              Two questions though Az, could search but hey, the Az machine is here.

              1. Is it easy enough to import mail from OE into the Opera mail client?
              2. How good is the mail spam filter?

                I have never imported myself, but there is a wizard for doing it (file -> import -> mail).

                Unfortunately, I don't find the spam filter that good. Other people have different experiences, though.

                The Opera Mail Client is a bit different from other mail clients, some like it, some don't: It has NO folders. Unread is just a filter for received mails, spam is just a filter as well.

                dZeus doesn't like the Opera mail client, he uses firebird instead (or what the mozilla mail client is called).

                If you don't use the mail client, it doesn't get loaded (or you can just delete the m2.dll - though this will also kill news functionality AFAIK). In 7.60, you will be able to disable mail, chat, and news clients separately.

                  Think I will continue with OE as my mail client for a while then, have several different folders for mail, view filter doesn't look like it will be able to cope with it.

                  OT: Anyone know a good spam filter for OE, free or otherwise.

                    It's not that I don't like it...
                    for mail I'd prefer to be depandant on an open-spec (and widely embraced) mail archive format so if I collect years worth of email I'll have a decent chance of being able to import it to the mail client of choice if I ever need to switch.

                        It doesn't like Hotmail that much, shame as I use my hotmail account for my freelance work.

                          This won't help you, but you can read here that it's not Opera's fault. MSN have pulled tricks like that in the past, somehow they just don't like Opera.

                            Do you have Opera identify itself as Opera or IE6 as when I installed it defaulted to IE6.

                            phpMyAdmin is a little strange with Opera, renders the text really small (table names) and the database, processes, operations bar is a little strange.

                            Still having to use IE for fileplanet and Hotmail but other then that quite nice so far.

                            Didn't think tabbed browsing was worth it with three monitors but it is turning out to be useful.

                              what's wrong with hotmail in opera? I identify as opera and it works fine here.
