This has been this way for the last few versions or rather since they changed the UI in version 11 I think. This allows you do double click this array to return to window mode or "drag it down" from maximized which will return it to window mode (Windows).

What OS? I have Firefox for Windows and have no unclickable space between the top of the tabs and top of the screen. I've never experienced that before on any release I can remember.

You don't have that tiny (2px?) gap?

So what would be a good client on Windows ?

I was just recently trying eM Client, was happy at the beginning as it has nice interface and integrates with GMail contacts and calendar. Was considering even buying the license. But then I started having contact local/remote sync conflicts without having them changed on either side. And then while the modal was blocking UI, it apparently was blocking the scheduler, so it was queuing all mailbox sync operations and…

The sync conflicts are certainly not a usual thing to happen if no change has happened on either side.

Also the modal UI blocks only the one sync queue - i.e. the one for contacts & calendars in that account. All other accounts including mails for that same account should continue syncing.

I'd love to help you with those issues - you can contact me at grafnetr@emclient.com

Nice to see a company that cares about users up its game. Opera is now at the forefront along with google, and unlike google, will actually make features people want.

Never having to use the chrome bookmark manager again (or firefoxes or safaris) is a huge sell for me.

As for all the features they dropped, Im sure there are or will be extensions for that. Personally, I prefer the browser to be screaming fast with just enough features that I need. I could never switch to opera in the past because it was simply too slow.

Also, I wont get ads for Google products in browser or prompts to "login" to my browser as Google has been doing lately. YAY!

This is a bigger PR disaster than Xbox One. Everyone is criticizing Opera for the gutted features.

These are the old users who are whining. Opera's old user base is a good riddance. Opera was a slow, bloated browser, which no-one wanted to use. Now it has a chance at being a decent browser and acquiring a new user base, who doesn't care about those 'gutted features'.

Slow? It was actually pretty efficient. It ran extremely well on old computers that Firefox and Chrome crawled on.

I didn't know Opera mail was so good. Now I want it to be bundled with Opera. It's pretty awesome. Except I wish they had a "All Mail" folder... rather then this rather confusing "Unread" and "Received" folders, that seem to contain pretty much the same thing until you read them, then it is removed from both.

That sounds like a bug. "Received" is supposed to be like "all [received] mail", both read and unread. Works like a charm on 12.15.
