Having given up using M2 for IMAP, I've been exploring other parts of the set-up. Currently I've got it looking at one POP account (leaving mail on the server), the Opera newsgroups, some other newsgroups through the clunkiest news server in the world (my ISP would be soooo proud to think it had won that accolade).
Best of all though are the newsfeeds!
Currently I have 5 feeds set up (scrap that, just added another one)and leave the panel open on the side of the screen.
And looking at the latest beta (Opera 7.6), getting new feeds will be even easier thanks to the link/icon thing that shows in the address bar. A whole new world awaits.

8 Dec 2004Where do you get the opera news feeds, and how do you get that panel open?
I supposedly am signed up for news feeds (like the megatokyo newsfeed) and I see a little note come up saying I have news in the bottom left corner, I click and then nothing is there.

8 Dec 2004I'll post some details up later (I need to be on my own machine to figure out what I did). Posting this from work on IEsicks.

8 Dec 2004Here's what I did. I used a completely clean version of Opera (ie no accounts set up in advance).
I opened the panel and selected 'Mail'. That gives you the panel the newsfeed shows on. F4 opens the main panel.
I navigated to a site with an RSS feed. I clicked on the feed. And automatically the feed started. You also seem to get a page of garbage in the original tab, but the feed (and link to it in the panel) appears automatically.
Oddly, it worked the first time on the clean version, then failed immediately after that. I emptied my cache and tried again, and it worked.
You can also look in the menu bar Mail>Newsfeeds. You get a starter list you can select from.
