spell check in opra

[res07tg2]

I recently started using opra

in the email is there a spell check function?? I know it's probably right there and I'm blind but could someone help me out


thanks

Nope - no spell checker. Why don't you use Pegasus or Eudora as your email client? They both have spell checkers (I believe - I know Pegasus does) and can be your default MAPI. They also don't have the security issues that Outhouse Express does.

(I use Opera and Pegasus)

Okay - you need to do all the following to do this right:

Install Pegasus and make sure you check the box to install Internet Explorer default mail support. Then install the Pegasus Mail MAPI support - this will be in the start menu under the Pegasus group. Choose "Simple MAPI". Go into Internet Options in control panel and pick Pegasus Mail as your default e-mail client on the Programs tab. Then open Opera's preferences, E-mail, and pick Use the system's default E-mail client - Pegasus Mail should already be listed in there. Now, every time you click on a mailto link in Opera, it will open Pegasus with a new mail form ready to go.

Thanks glc i had done everything but install the simple mapi

however it didn't fix the problem i got around the error by entering my pop 3 server info again but unchecking the box to have opra automaticaly go get my mail which has the same effect as deleting the account

does pegasus save my sent mail like oe or do i need to create a folder to copy it to

hopefully it saves it i need a price i quoted a customer and i can't remember what it is

[glc]

You have to create a folder - tools/options/general has the place to put the default location - mine is called "copies to self". Tools/options/message settings has a couple more options for copying self - as does the new message form itself.

I should have warned you - and I apologize - Pegasus is not a "no brainer" client like Outhouse Express - it is an extremely powerful program and as such has a LOT of configuration options. You might want to take some time and read the online help. It will help you a lot in customizing the program to work the way you want. I take what this program does for granted because I have been using it for over 5 years now and the updates haven't really changed it much. I hear this is going to change with version 4 - from what I hear it might as well be a whole new program.
