Opera Web Mail allows you to access all of your e-mail even when you are not connected to the Web. Your e-mails are stored right on your hard disk so that you can read and respond anywhere. Follow this procedure to import messages, contact information, and settings from other e-mail clients:

Select Tools > Mail and chat accounts.
Click "Add" and select "Import e-mail".
Select which e-mail client to import from.
If Opera has not located the correct folder, click "Choose" to select the folder the messages are located in.
Select which account to import into; choose "" to import to a fresh account.
Select whether to import settings, contacts, messages, or a combination.
Click "Import" to start importing.

In case you need to set up a new account without importing old messages, than here is how to do that:-

Select Tools > Mail and chat accounts.

Click "Add" and select the type of e-mail account you want (most likely POP if you are unsure).

Enter your name, e-mail address, and optionally an organization you belong to.

Enter your user (log-in) name and password (given to you by your service provider).

Enter mail server information from your service provider.

Click "Finish" to create the account.

Re: Opera Web Mail tips...
You can choose different settings for each of your accounts in Tools > Mail and chat accounts. Here is some examples:-

General

The account name is only used within Opera, not in your messages.
Account categories lets you select between groups of accounts, for example only display your three work accounts or your two home accounts.
Your name and e-mail address appear in outgoing messages, for example Nice Person .
Outgoing messages can indicate an organization you belong to (optional).
Outgoing messages can indicate an alternate address people should send replies to (optional).
You can send copies (Cc) or blind copies (Bcc) of all messages sent from the account to a particular e-mail address (optional).

Incoming

Leaving messages on a server makes it possible to retrieve the messages again from another computer.
If you read messages from multiple computers, they can be marked automatically if you have already downloaded (read) them from another computer.
You can choose whether to download message bodies while checking messages or when reading each individual message.
IMAP users can also choose whether or not to store local copies of downloaded message bodies.
You can choose how often to check for new messages automatically and which accounts to include.
You can decide which accounts to include when you check for new messages manually.
You can have a sound played when you get new messages.
