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 "<new account>" to import to a fresh account.
• Select whether to import settings, contacts, messages, or a combination.
• Click "Import" to start importing.
