I have tried to find out how to import more newsgroupsanswers and succeded by changing the newsrc-file. But unfortunately - now I can not see all my ordinary messages. The Redeived tells me they are there, but I can not see them. I have used View/show and marked all the possibilities.

I have a backup, but it would be interesting to me to get a solution.

Right-click in the Mail panel, and make sure 'Show messages from' is set to 'All accounts'

(IMO)
This drop list would must be a default in the mail toolbar!!
The GUI must help the user to find its way of doing things.

Opera 7.0 initially had this, and it meant tons of people accidentally setting it and then wondering why the heck their mail went missing. Since the setting was available only from the submenu, these messages are much less frequent. Though it is clear it can still accidentally be triggered by people who are investigating the context menu. Maybe the account selector dropdown should be shown automatically whenever people deviate from the 'all accounts' setting...

In 9.5, it has become easy to see all messages from a single account in one place, which solves some use cases but not all.
