The problem is that the new behaviour is not very intuative (much like the  
way it automatically reconnects to IRC if you type the "/quit" command -  
who thought that one up?).

Why can't Opera populate that list with either a cached copy of the folder  
names, or even just the saved folder name before it's connected to the  
server, just like previous versions? It's possible the 'sent' folder will  
have been moved/renamed/deleted since you last checked for mail but  
shouldn't that problem be dealt with when it's encountered? It's like  
blanking out the fields for the server address because it *might* have  
disappeared since you last started Opera.
