Opera Mail – standalone mail client • Hacker News Board

I'm kind of disappointed by the first-launch experience: there's no configuration wizards for common email providers, not even for fastmail which is an Opera division AFAIK.

Edit : Actually there is, but it's not very discoverable.

It is also a RSS reader. I don't really get it.

I get a download link on a Mac. Can't see the Windows or Linux link, presumably only shows the Download link for your OS.

Can't you also read RSS using the OSX Mail.app?

I'm on Ubuntu and with Firefox and Chromium I get offered the windows download. It doesn't sniff very well :)

Or any other mail client really. What I don't get is why they stripped it out from the browser (I didn't take up any disk space really).

edit: I really hope they don't take out RSS reader functionality out as well. I never got why other browser didn't support such basics when it came to browsing.
