Good news for Opera users! Opera team has released Opera 11.61 version which is a recommended upgrade offering security and stability enhancements.
According to Opera team, Opera's mail UI has been completely revamped in Opera 11.6 version. Its easy to setup and works well in combination with webmail services. 11.6 version also features an updated version of the browser engine (including Opera's new HTML5 parser, Ragnarök) and many improvements in the address field, including an easy way to add pages to bookmarks or speed dial.

Highlighted Features:
Opera Mail
- Two-lined message list: Opera Mail will now default to "list on the left, message on the right", with the newest message on top, and always showing message threads.
- Mail grouping: Opera will automatically group messages by date. You can also group them by unread status, by pinned status, or not at all.
- Cleaned up look: The mail toolbars are simplified, and icons have been redesigned.
- New settings dialogs: The "View" dropdown menu with all its sub-menus has been replaced by an overlay dialog that can be reached by clicking the "wrench" button.
- Pinning: You can now "pin" messages with one click in the message list or in the message headers, to mark a message for attention. This pinning is mapped to the IMAP \Flagged feature, so it corresponds to "starring" and "flagging" in other IMAP clients, and with Gmail's starred messages.
User Interface
- Additional refinement of the featherweight skin
- Improved Opera skin installation
- Improved plug-in install wizard
- Add icon in the address field to enable all plug-ins on the page when using "Enable plug-ins only on demand"
- New Add to Panel dialog to replace the old Bookmarks dialog
- Updated Hunspell component to 1.3.1

WOW! I think the browser wars just went to a whole notha' level. Absolutely beautiful. Great functionality, and best of all (to me anyway), it has a built-in ad blocker. I was using FireFox mainly due to the great ad blocking, but when you visit a web page in Opera, you just right click, apply the block content feature, and you can select what you want to block. GREAT! It's a lot faster too. I think this will be my main browser for a while.

Agree with Bobby!

Love the new features too like tabs with screenshot and new and improved speed dial! Try it guys! Thanks again for the post VG!
