LDAP is the de-facto method for storing contact information in a central server - even Microsoft has made Active Directory compatible with it. Unfortunately my whole experience falls flat by the lack of support of a core technology: LDAP. It is more accessible than Thunderbird's quick search bar but lacks the ability to combine filters, so more complex searches get complex quickly (e.g. Opera mail gives you the standard mail view by default along with some useful and easy to use filters for finding and organising your mail. The real test comes from how good it handles mail.
It has a slick interface and runs seemingly quickly - but to be honest, browsers are all fairly similar these days. Being the underdog then, gives ample reason to support it. Opera is a long-standing browser and mail suite that has long been loved by many but never made it to the populate mainstream. On another computer though I thought I'd take a step away from my clear Mozilla fandom and try something else.
It is far faster, but not quite as snazzy - a compromise that I think I'll be able to live with. On my main PC I have reverted to SeaMonkey (the original star of the Mozilla project until Firefox got the lime-light). Although I have become disillusioned recently due to the heavy memory footprint and sluggishness of Firefox. Previously I was running a Firefox and Thunderbird combo for web/mail.
#OPERA MAIL TEST INSTALL#
A fresh operating system install always provides a good chance to try alternative software to whatever one has been stuck using previously.
