How to configure an email account in Opera
The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to set up an email account in the desktop email program Opera. This will allow you to receive and send emails right from your desktop without having to log into webmail. The first step in doing this is to create the email account, you should have already done that through your hosting cPanel. If you need assistance doing this, please view the tutorial: How to create a POP email account. Now that we have our account created, lets open the program Opera and configure the settings:
The line that says *Leave messages on server* should be UN-CHECKED if you do not want to leave your messages on the server after you download them. Now click Finish to exit the Account Wizard. The account has been set up but there is one more step:
SMTP authentication means that Opera will log into your mail server even when sending mail and not just when receiving. This is so that it can ensure that you are the only one who can send from this account. Most SMTP servers use the same username and password as the incoming (POP3) servers, so enter them on the next two lines. Click OK when finished then click Close. That completes the setup of the email account in Opera, you are now ready to receive and send email from your new account. You may add more accounts at any time but remember, they will not work if you do not first create the account in your hosting cPanel.
