Hi all, I have just been using Opera 7.0 for two weeks, kind-of like it so I have been shuning IE (so long!) ever since. However, today I decided to test sending email with the Opera browser (or the mail program included). I key in my POP and my information and etc, and Opera says “Generic Error! \ not found! (Bad network?)” Or something do that effect. Figuring that I could stick with Outlook Express, I click on cancel and happily go on with my browsing when five minutes later… The same confounded error dialog pops up again! I click ‘Cancel’ once more…then after a while it pops up again! Thinking that I shall click “Okay” instead, I did so…and the dialog pops up again! I open Opera-mail and delete all traces of anything I found inside there. Still it pops up! I close the browser and re-open it. Still it pops up! How do I stop this?
