First, opera is a good browser, and the integrated mail client is also a wonderful place!

People who like keyboard operations have no reason to dislike the opera mail client; people who like Gmail should also like it.
Opera mail client; those who like opera as a browser have no reason to dislike opera mail
User.

Some people say that the mail client is not as convenient as Gmail. Some people simply use Gmail.
The pop function of is used to import emails from other mailboxes to Gmail, and Gmail becomes an online mail "client ".

Some people say that opera mail has the advantages of Gmail and does not have the disadvantages of Gmail. Although this sentence may not be accurate,
However, I did not find a mail client that is more like Gmail.

This article does not talk about the basic settings of opera mail, because it is similar to other mail clients. Just talk about its speed
Convenience.

1. email list
You can use the following methods to locate emails in the Mail List:
J. Next email
U previous email
H. Next unread email
Y: The last unread email.
It's easy to remember the four keys on the keyboard.

For the mail list, you can select the thread method to combine the mail of a thread. Gmail users should like
In this way. You can use Bcc to send emails to yourself.
. In the email account, select "BCC" for each email, so that you can
The complete thread is displayed in the box.

View all the emails from the sender of an email. Simply click e. Email list horse
Filter out all emails sent and received by this contact. Wait, if you want to return to the original
What should I do if I have an email list? It's easy. You can easily use the Z Shortcut of opera!

2. Email operations
The operation after locating an email is also simple:
K indicates that the email has been read
Shift-k indicates that the email is not read
R Reply sender
Shift-R Reply to everyone
F forwarding

You can set multiple labels for an email, such as important and todo. You can also use the shortcut key to do this:
L, 1 Set mail to label 1
L, 2 set mail to label 2
...

L, 1 is to press the L key and then the 1 key. This combination of shortcut keys is powerful, not provided by general programs ~~

After you set a label for an email, a small icon is displayed in the last label column of the email list as the identifier.

3. Email search
This is a powerful part of opera mail. Opera mail will index emails, just like Gmail.
When you enter any characters in the mail search box, the Mail list will search for this keyword
. This search speed is quite different from that of the general mail client one by one.
When there are hundreds of emails.

CTRL + Shift + 3 you can call up the test bar of the email and position the cursor in the search box of the test bar.
You can perform email search. The difference is that the search results are automatically saved in the search directory. Just
Is the search folder of outlook.

You can use the search box to search for emails related to a contact and enter the contact name.
The better way is:
CTRL + Shift + 4 bring up the contact test bar, enter the contact name in the search box of the test bar, then right
All emails related to this contact are listed on the side immediately.

4. Contacts
For a received email, it is easy to add the sender to your contact list.
A.

When writing an email, you can enter a few characters in the to, CC, and BCC columns to filter the email immediately from the contact list.
The drop-down menu is available for you to choose from.

5. Mail sorting
The Mail list contains the following columns: sender, mail title, time, size, attachment, and label.
In many cases, we need to sort the mail list by certain conditions, such as time and sender. Besides clicking
You can sort the title bar in the mail list by using a simple shortcut key.

However, this is not the default setting of opera. You need to manually set the shortcut key.
Open the shortcut key setting option and add the following:
Mail window
S, l sort by column, 6 sort by label
S, Z sort by column, 4 sort by size
S, T sort by column, 3 sort by sent time
S, s sort by column, 2 sort by subject mail title
S, F sort by column, 1 sort by from sender

The result is that the mail list is sorted by t after S, and the mail list is immediately sorted by mail time.
If you press F after S, the Mail list will be immediately sorted by sender.

Opera's shortcut key settings are really powerful. It can also support sequential combinations of shortcuts like this
Key.

6. send and receive emails
CTRL-K accept email
CTRL-e create email

After writing the email, press Ctrl-shift-s to send it.

7. Attachment operations
For received emails, shift-S can save the attachments.
If you need to add attachments to emails to be sent, you also need to customize the shortcut key to implement
Now.

Open the custom shortcut key and add:
Compose window:
O alt add attachment

Note: It must be added under the compose window column, because it is in the compose of the email.
Window to add the attachment.

The effect is to use the alt-O shortcut to pop up the Add attachment dialog box, saving you the need to click
The attachment button is troublesome.

8. Mail List Layout
Supports layout in Step 4: full list, full mail body, up/down split between list and body, left/right split.

I usually use the full list mode and left-right split mode to coexist.

By default, it is in the full list mode. After you locate the desired email, switch to the left-side splitting mode. This is displayed on the right.
Body of the email. You can preview the email.
The shortcut for switching is I.

Of course, by default, the shortcut key I is displayed in the full list, divided up and down, and cyclically switched across the entire body.
You can change it by customizing the shortcut key.

In the custom Shortcut Key List, find:
I show List View> show message View> show split view, 2
Changed:
I show List View> show split view, 1

That's it!

9. email editor

Generally, the text editing function of the mail client is not powerful. Of course, HTML editing is supported.
In fact, this is also the advantage that e-mail clients such as mutt can call External Editors such as vim. But Opera
The mail editor is different. I was surprised to find that it supports some Emacs shortcuts!
CTRL-A: move the cursor to the beginning of the line
CTRL-E: move the cursor to the end of the line
CTRL-D Delete the character after the cursor
CTRL-H Delete the character before the cursor
CTRL-n move the cursor down
CTRL-P move the cursor up
CTRL-B move one character forward
CTRL-F move one character backward
CTRL-u Delete All characters before the cursor
CTRL-K Delete All characters after the cursor
CTRL-Z undo
CTRL-y redo
CTRL-G backward Lookup
CTRL-shift-G forward lookup

10. Others
Opera mail can also set email filters to automatically classify attachments by file type. Add
Signature is also indispensable. The IMAP mode is also supported.

The mail client software is not convenient for us to map. I will describe all the text and do not know whether to clarify it.

Are you tempted? Come and try it out!
