Problem with Opera

Today, Jana wanted to e-mail someone, so she thought it would be a good idea to make an e-mail account on Opera. But afterwards, periodically (maybe once every 5 or so minutes) Opera would freeze up for an amount of time, and then come up with an Error Console.

I don't know how to stop this from happening. Does anyone here know how I can get rid of the e-mail account? Or at least how to stop the Error Console?

Are you trying to run email through Opera to avoid using something like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird?  I've only tried it once, and I couldn't get it to work, so I just went into preferences and removed it.  You can try that.   If that doesn't work, you can always try http://www.opera.com/support/

It wasn't me who set up the e-mail account. It was Jana.

I was able to fix the problem by removing the E-Mail folder from the Application Data of Opera.

Tell her its best to use a program designed specifically for email, not a one-in-all solution.

I just don't understand why people don't just set up a gmail account.  The service is free , you get tons of space, and it doesn't use hardly any resources.

Preference. Not everyone wants a Gmail account. Others just prefer using another e-mail address.

I've had to delete the folder again. I'm guessing Jana must've gotten the account back. I'll ask her about it.
