Set up Email Account in Opera Mail

To add an email account in Opera Mail, go to Tools > Mail and chat accounts. A confirmation dialog box will open.Click Yes to create a new email account.

The first screen that appears lets you choose which kind of account you would like to create in Opera. Choose either Regular e-mail (POP) or IMAP: which of the two depends on your email provider. Most email providers or Internet Service use POP / POP3.Click Next.

The Opera Mail Wizard's second screen will first prompt you to enter your name: this is where you enter your name as you would like others to see it when they receive your emails. In the second field, enter your complete email address. The last field will let you enter your organization name. This field appears in "email headers", or information not visible by default in most email programs.

The Opera Mail Wizard's third screen collects information M2 needs to authenticate your email account with the mail server.

Enter your user name. Depending on your email provider, your user name could be either the part of your email address that comes before the "@", or your complete email address, (of the form "user@domain.com"). If you are unsure, check with your email provider or Internet Service Provider.
Enter your email password and click Next.

At the end you will see the final section for configuration Opera and it will have already pre-populated your mail server information for you already.

Opera Mail's email account setup wizard automatically populates the server names with "mail.domain.com", which is the most common configuration (where "domain.com" is your email providers domain name). In doubt, give it a try; you can always change this later.

Use secure connection (TLS) is unchecked by default. Unless your email provider specifically requires it, you should leave it unchecked. Secure authentication is not supported by all email providers.

Leave messages on server is checked by default: this means that Opera Mail will only download a copy of your emails, leaving the originals intact on the mail server. This is ultimately your choice, and doesn't otherwise affect the way Opera Mail works or performs.

Click Finish. You now you have created your first email account in Opera Mail.

Opera Mail will confirm completion of the email account setup, and offer to open Opera's official Opera Mail Tutorial.
