Wow, that sure is an annoying product page. Where are the details about what mail providers they support? Does it do calendering? What are the system requirements (WinXP, OS X 10.5, CentOS 5, etc...)?

They definitely need a better landing page to really 'sell' this thing. Should do a contest of one for them.

Does it offer PGP integration? Well-designed email clients with proper privacy seem to be very hard to come by, and new players in that niche would be welcome. Particularly in the current climate, I would argue.

Exactly! I'd pay to see an easy one-click PGP integration!

opera browser without e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/developer/next Not for linux yet, though.

Good news. I'm OK with Windows - I'd rather be enraged with Microsoft, than with the Million Monkey syndrome.

I'd like to hear the full story on how Opera self-destructed as a company. Someone should write a book or something.

Considering this is an announcement for a new software release, the comments were already negative enough. However, yours is just plain rude. Opera has not self-destructed as anything, and in fact they take the steps they think necessary but others would likely find intimidating (such as throwing out a rendering engine or releasing a standalone client, which they probably knew will be controversial).

Just tested this with https://emailprivacytester.com/ and it failed Even though it claims to not load remote content by default, and pops up a "Load Images" dialogue, it actually loads content from the html5 video and audio tags immediately. So whilst this doesn't work unless the user clicks "Load Images": This does:

Sounds like a bug, I'd suggest you report it.

When I download the mail it says:

"Thank you for choosing Opera browser. We hope you enjoy it."

Should it be Opera Mail, not browser.

I thought it came out that emailprivacytester.com was a service created by the NSA.

It was created by me. The complete source code is available on github if you would prefer to host it yourself. Linked to from the about and privacy pages of the site.

Fair enough, I was just joking of course...
