I managed to import the mail headers by pointing the importer to
accounts.ini, but no bodies..(from backup of old Mail directory).
I set up the newsgroups manually, and still no threaded view, and any
period other than Forever hides all messages.

I deleted all opera entries and made a perfectly clean install, the tried
the import function without creating any accounts, made a real mess of
mail and news posts mixed.

Then did it all over again with manually created accounts then various
imports, still no mail bodies.
I think I have reached the end of my patience.

Opera is a nice and quick web browser, the mail and news clients needs
serious work...  Back to Thunderbird for me, sigh.

I'm sorry that you were unable to get it working.  If you're near
Oslo, I'll probably be there in August and we could meet so I could
take a look.



Thank you for your kind offer.

I'll be in Oslo all of August.
This is however a stationary machine (Mac Mini), and I spend time on Usenet everyday so the non-threaded issue cant wait very long.

I have given up on the E-mail, and consider all but headings now lost.

So all in all, I am left with three concerns:

1.No Threaded views in the news client.
2.No other "View Period" than "Forever" works in the News client.
3.No proper way of transferring existing mail from one machine or install to another.

An easy way to implement a Norwegian spellchecker would also be nice(At least a proper "How-To").


Sincerely.
Jørn Berg.




I forgot to mention the fact that I have TimeMachine running, so I might just roll back to 9.27. This way I will have a partial threaded view in the News client, and aprox 14 days of lost e-mail.
