Yes, but how do I move all the mail from the existing machine over to
the new machine?  Just running setup on the new machine won't move
anything from one machine to another.

I would export the received/sent mail, bookmarks, contacts, notes, etc,
to a directory, copy that directory to a usb drive, cd, whatever, and
then use opera to import those items on the new machine.  That way you
don't have to worry about different versions, install locations, etc.

All I have at this point are bookmarks and mail.  However, with the
current version I have (9.25), I don't see an option (unless I am
overlooking it) to export all mail at once.  I see an option when I
right click on a View ("filter"?) in the mail pane.  Does that export
everything in that view?  It appears that it does into one big file,
but if I import that, is Opera able to restructure things back into
order?  I don't have too many views at present, so that would be
manageable.

Thanks to all who have responded so far.
