Opera Mail and Importing — doesn't!
-
@OakdaleFTL Sorry to hear all that. M3 handles all 5 of my accounts handily (IMAP in each case) and aggregates them in exactly the manner I expect. When transferring emails between accounts is perfected, and it becomes able to delete GMails completely on the first try, when filters become more intuitive and user-friendly, I really won't have much more to wish for. It's already been my default email client for home and business for a number of years now, but I was able to hit the ground running with it largely because I didn't have to try to import emails from any other source (IMAP, doncha know).
One thing I had done some years back was to export all of my emails going back to 2001 to .mbs and then upload/import them to GMail. Since then, by using IMAP, any client I log on with has access to all of my mail going back to the beginning of time.

(M2 does not support encryption beyond TLS 1.1...which GMX will soon drop
I'm in no way an expert in encryption, but when I look at the security settings of Opera 12.18 it says TLS1.2

@WildEnte The stand-alone Opera Mail doesn't offer much in the way of prefs... But I'd expect -if it is derived from the browser 12.xx, which I know it was- that it should use the available options. Hm.
Perhaps our good friends at GMX are being over-protective?
(I know M2 doesn't support StarTLS; which isn't yet a problem — for me.)
As I stop-gap measure, I'll get O12.18 — import my mail, and export it...in the hopes that Vivaldi's Mail will "like" the format.
Thanks, all, for the help! -
UPDATE: Here's what the Mac app Mail displays:
(Not good: I expected these mails to be integrated into its normal scheme...)Here's what M3 (in my stable install) shows:
It has said it imported the mails — but I can't find them (display them) in the Mail window; they don't appear in the totals badge or panel view either...

Did you see any progress indication during import or did it just fail? You might try to import only mail and only one account at a time. Not sure if there is anything Mac specific, I only have Linux and windows.
-
@WildEnte Oh, I've little doubt it's Mac-specific... No, I didn't see a progress bar (or some such indication) during the M3 "import" — I've got to put the problem aside for a while: I'll be traveling...

If you still want to access gmx with opera mail, update to version 1044:
https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/mail/1.0/win/
it supports the newer TLS versions.
