Open letter to Jon concerning M3

@morg42 said in Open letter to Jon concerning M3:
Much like postcards, just less secure and less private
Thank goodness you alerted me to this. I've now ditched emails in favour of postcards -- there, in one fell swoop i have enhanced my security & privacy. Job well done.

M3 needs to come soon, I said it before, hide it in vivadi://experiments this way advanced users know what they are doing, I am responsible for any losses this way.

Hello, Jon,
Thank you for your personal feedback on my post. I've only seen them now, because the forum is sorted a bit strangely. I hope very much that we will soon be able to watch a M3 beta of non-Sopranos. Hopefully, Intel or Microsoft will not add any updates until then, which will shut down Opera 12.18 finally. I have the feeling that the last meltdown and spectre updates didn't do the stability of Opera any good.
I fully support @saudiqbal's proposal:

@jon I think one thing that could be good is comprehensive mail filtering.... Right now for instance in M2, there is basic filtering, where other mature email clients have more filtering options
Like, lets say I don't want to accept an email from someone, I can set up a rule.
IF ANY HEADER CONTAINS FROM [email protected]
MOVE TO TRASH
MARK AS READ
Something like that....
Or if ANY HEADER CONTAINS [email protected]
FORWARD TO... [email protected]etc etc... More complex filtering than what we have in Opera 12.16 for Windows. That would be really great...
I think thats all I can think of for now... If I can think of anything else, I'll come back!
Thanks,
Chris -

Any news about this topic? I mean more as "When its ready" or "Humpfh"
Currently state of my O12.18:
Incoming new mail, clicking it in the inbox - CRASH
Click on reply, wrote some letters, cyclic checking new mails in the background - CRASH
Opening a link in a mail directly in O12.18 - CRASHNot every time but often. Not really usable for productive. No workarounds because the old O12 code is incompatible with modern Intel CPU and IGFX. I think its the same issue which causes older versions of Corel Paint Shop Pro unusable on 8-Gen Core CPU. Asked Intel but they only laugh for issue requests related to such old software - justifiably.
I hope to read thats M3 will released soon.

@codehunter Opera 12.18 email works fine for me on an AMD processor. If it keeps crashing for you then you should try another email program or use webmail.
They won't give any more details for M3 rather than it is in progress and will be released when it is ready. They already use it in internal builds, but they won't release it before it is good enough for Joe Public.

@pesala Please read my initial post (open letter to jon): I wan't change my mailer because all the tests showed that others do not really match my personal requirements. And I can't change the CPU architecture because its pretended by employer. Both problems are MY problems and not that of the M3 devs, i know. But I have great hope that M3 will match my requirements.

@codehunter
As of today, M2 still is still working fine for me (4 email accounts, thousands of emails...) the only issue I have noticed is that it may crash on external links. I have gotten into the habit of Copying and Pasting into a more modern browser.
Using Win10 and Linux Mint on Intel computers at different locations...I have tried other clients and found them unacceptable for one reason or another so I am still anxiously awaiting M3.
-
@greybeard There is a setting in M2 whereby you can instruct it to open all links in (xyz) browser.
-
@ayespy I remember you used to be able to Rt-Click > Open In... (list of registered browsers) in the Opera Browser but I do not see it in M2.
Also nothing in "About:Config".
Can you point me to it in O12.18?
