Opera Mail Notifier, shows information about new mail in Opera mail client.
PREREQUISITES
Ensure Opera 10.50 or higher is installed.
INSTALLATION
Double-click on the widget file to install it. In the "Install widget" window click "Install" and then, "Finish". If the "Launch this widget" checkbox remains checked, the widget will start immediately.
USAGE
Specify the mail account location: click the "Choose mail directory" link in the upper right corner of the widget, and navigate to the mail account folder in the "Browse for folder" dialog. Opera's mail store location may depend on your operating system and installation options. Use Opera's main menu to determine the actual location: select Help - About Opera. The mail folder will be listed under the "Paths" section as "Mail Directory". Navigate to this location, drill down to "store/account1" (or to another account folder), then click "OK".
The widget will scan the last five messages from the selected account, and will show you the message sender, subject, date and time. Each minute the widget re-scans the account and shows updated information. Press the "hide" link to prevent a specific message from being displayed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Make sure that all folders in the mail store path hierarchy above are not hidden, otherwise the widget will fail to read messages.
Set up the watched Opera mail account to "Make all messages available offline". The widget only scans local (downloaded) messages.
You can only point to the mail account folder manually, and cannot store it between sessions. Opera forbids storing external paths and opening them programmatically for security reasons.
Only plain-text, utf-8, win-1251 and koi8-r encodings are handled in Subject: and From: fields. The rest will be displayed as is.
Too late, I now have Opera 11 and the notifier is just a blank box like this http://files.myopera.com/creegah/files/mail_notifier.JPG My mail folder was in a profile folder within the Opera folder not in AppData but I had Opera installed on my D drive..maybe that was the problem. Thanks for checking. This would be really useful if I could get it to work in Opera 11...any chance of that? Are you going to update it?
Can you make sure that your AppData directory is not hidden? By default it is, and in a typical Win7 setup the widget won't be able to scan Opera mail located in, say, C:SERS%USERNAME%APPDATAocaloperaoperamailstoreccount1 - as mentioned in the directions above.
This widget does not work at all for me. I followed the directions exactly; made sure I was in the correct email directory and sent a test message to myself, but the widget says no new messages. (Email IS offine in the folder and the folder is not hidden.) Now what?? Windows 7 64 bit, Opera 10.63
