About this guide
This guide will walk you through the configuration of Opera 10 Mail.
It assumes that you have already installed the program, but have done nothing more.

1) Open account settings

In Opera, go to the "Tools" menu, and select "Mail and Chat Accounts".

2) Create a new account

Choose "Yes" when prompted to create a new account.

3) E-Mail account

Select the "E-Mail" option and click "Next".

4) Identity

Enter your name and your email address and click "Next".

STOP: IMAP or POP3?

At this point you need to decide whether you will use IMAP or POP3 to check your email.

IMAP stores all of your email on the server (also making it available via webmail), and allows you to categorise your messages into folders.
POP3 is generally used where you only have one computer as it is designed to download (and delete) your mail from the server.

If unsure, use IMAP as it offers enhanced functionality and an easy migration path to POP3 if required later.

5a) User Information for IMAP

Enter your full email address as the "Login Name", along with your password.
Choose "IMAP" as the account type.
Click "Next".

5b) User Information for POP3

Enter your full email address as the "Login Name", along with your password.
Choose "Regular e-mail (POP)" as the account type.
Click "Next".
