How to use the Opera browser as your email program

Once, I read the study of statistics, which indicated that 80% of users use e-mail service post, just visiting the site of the service provider. Although, at the same time, there is already a lot of opportunities to receive mail directly to your computer using mail program email client. And it, in principle, then, and do not have to look far. The simplest version, for example, is set in Windows, Outlook Express. But, as it will be discussed in a future article.

Today, we consider the possibilities in this regard, the browser Opera. As it turned out, after three years of its operation to me, there exists a built extension, which is serving as the mailer. Moreover, management and creation of the letters are absolutely similar to that used in the service we give to the electronic mailboxes. Until that synchronizes the folder structure, including the further you have created, in the account's service, and actions undertaken by you on the files of letters in the mail program. For this, you need to include the function in the IMAP settings on the service and thus create an account in mailer.

By the way, before signing up for a mailbox, in any such program, advise on service to find the Help section and Settings. 100% There are instructions for setting up most popular email programs. Let these pages will be open, because you will need to set:

• address POP3-or IMAP-server - it is responsible for incoming mail;
• address of SMTP-server - it is responsible for outgoing mail from you; 
• particular setup SMTP-server for a specific service; 
• possible, although unlikely, will require port numbers to work with servers.
  

Separately, in a text file, save such data (to make it easier to fill by kopipasta):

• full email address (such vashlogin@servis.ru)
  
• password
  

After this, go to the procedure for creating an account at the Opera. For this, the top horizontal menu, click on the tab "Tools", where we find "Accounts-mail and instant messaging. If you do not have a single account, then after clicking on the item pops up a window with the question: "You need to create an account before you proceed. Create it now? "Click" Yes "and will receive the following form, where you will be asked to select the type of this record. Select "Email" and click "Next>". In the new form you will be asked to enter: full name, address, mailbox and organization (I always write in such a field, home) - and again click "Next>". The following entry form: username ( «vashlogin» from the address) and password to access your mail. In the same manner we choose, on what the protocol will receive mail, "Surface mail (POP)» or IMAP. The default is POP.

Actually, on the «IMAP» I already wrote above. If you select it, then you need to turn it on in the settings of mail service. Moreover, not a fact that such a protocol is supported by your service. Study the "Help" and "Settings" service. You may need to edit the address IMAP and SMTP server settings in the following form.

To begin, I advise you to choose POP. In this case, if the server addresses, the service standard (POP3 - type «pop.servis.ru», and SMTP - «smtp.servis.ru»), after clicking "Next>" in the following form and you'll see them in forms " Incoming Mail Server "and" Outgoing Server ", which checks the address server and presses" OK ". However, it is quite possible that, after you click "Next>" the account creation process is completed, and the program immediately begins to download messages. For example, so I had to configure the mailbox "@ gmail.com» and «@ mail.ru». Obviously, the configuration of some services is already in the new browser versions of Opera 10.01 Final, and further adjustment can be viewed on ofsayte most Opera.

After the formation of the first account, in the top menu of your browser, you will see the tab "Mail", where you can work with electronic correspondence. But I advise you to configure your browser to display additional sidebar "Quick Tabs". To do this, click: "View" - "Toolbars", tick the "Panels".

Side will narrow socket with icons of tools: bookmarks, mail, contacts, widgets, notes, downloads, history and more (add on option, "+" sign in the panel). If you click on the icon with the letter, then opens the control panel ribbons news and e-mail accounts. Choose the necessary and appropriate content from the received mail is displayed in the browser window, and in the panel itself will open a standard folder structure of the mailbox. Create and respond to messages the same way as you did in the account's in the service. Receiving initialized right click on the name of the account and choosing from the context menu "Check Mail".

If you do something incorrectly configured when you create an account or want to customize it, then click on the button again on the tab menu "Tools" and then "Accounts-mail and instant messaging." A form of "Account Management", where you need the left mouse button to click once on the name desired, and click the "Change".

A window will appear "Account Properties" from the tabs in which you and make the necessary changes:

1)  General settings (record name, address, mailbox, etc.).

2)  Then, if necessary, make changes in the server address and authentication settings.

3) Basic settings - this is checked by the function "Leave messages on server" (as for me, it is best to keep) and a number of minutes to check mail on the server (decide in 5 minutes or 105).

4) Settings outgoing messages (encoding, some settings) and editing of the automatic email signature (I advise to make his signature).

To save the settings, click "OK".

Mail folders in the program is available at: «C: \ Documents and Settings \ Admin \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Opera \ Opera \ mail», where «Admin» you may be different (read the article about the Opera browser 10.01 Final). I recommend making a backup folder on the non-system disk.

The above procedure is, in principle, be repeated to configure mail accounts and in other programs. Of course, with minor nuances, they are characteristic. The key features are correct: the address box, password, server addresses, and authentication of them, ports.

In the video lesson, to the article, the process demonstrated by the example of services: Gmail and YandexMail - for IMAP protocol and Mail.ru - for POP protocol. In future articles, namely on the basis Mail.ru will be shown the process of working with Outlook Express and the Bat. The solution is, though clumsy, the question of use Yahoo, not giving free access to e-mail programs, considered the second article of this blog: "How to solve the problem of receiving mail from Yahoo!?»

By registering with Twitter

At the beginning of the year in RuNet news broke: "We have come to Twitter !!!». Turned out numerous articles on blogs and mailing lists. But, gradually, the euphoria has passed, and the influx of information as well. So it's time to figure out what to do and what is this, really popular, western service. Spodvigla me on this matter (registration in Twitter), art blog "caffeine for blogger" One day recently, received a message on the RCC-reader - gone honored and ... then again went revered. And, finally, he decided: "Why not!". So - in the case.

At its core service is a social network with the ability of users mikroblog. Pleasing service at Twitter.com - I'm there already have your account. Twitter is designed to ensure that you, with his short, 140 character messages to let the world know about their current affairs. Including and communicate with other users. As a joke, all users of the service called "tvitteryanami", and they talk among themselves is called chirping (or chirps).

On the registration and setup your account's talk a little lower. Now I'll show you how everything is happening.

You are authorized (enter the e-mail + password) in a form that is in the upper right corner of the page and appears by clicking on the button "Sing in". Only after that, you can write your messages on Twitter, which will appear on your page at the type «http://twitter.com/Vladekas». In your case, instead Vladekas - will be your login. Similarly, other users will be their mikroblog.

The essence of the service that you follovite, that is, as it were, add to friends of other users. This is done by pressing the button «Follow» by the blog author's avatar is located at the top left on his page. After that, his messages will appear in the tape messages in your account - it is available by clicking on the link «Home». Actually so you can keep track of what they say (or still chirping?) Others. On the right, from those tvittcov, you'll see two buttons: a star - Save this message to favorites, and the curved arrow - reply to this message. Thus, communication takes place between "tvitteryanami. The more you zafollovite people (including celebrities, the more "talk" you hear. On the other hand, the more you zafollovyat the more people will know about your affairs. Remove your tvitt can click on the Recycle Bin icon to the right of the message .

In the right column you will see information:
about yourself (you mentioned)
number zafollovlennyh «Following» you
number zafollovivshih «Followers» you
of your «Tweets» messages
miniavatarki elected you.


Now, although still better to watch online video on the page of this article on your blog, let us return to the registration. To do this, follow the link to my account on Twitter, click the button "Join today!", Or «Join Twitter!», Or in the main «Sign up now». You will sign-up page where you want to specify your contact information: name, desired login, password, post office box - and at the end to enter the code in the image and press the button «Create my account». Then open the second step, which I personally missed by clicking on the link at the bottom with the word «Scip ...». In the third step, you will be offered immediately subscribe to the popular mikroblog - you can tick off if you see someone you інтересного. Press the button «Finish» and get to a page with a form of a message. All - you can twitter.

Speaking of links in your account:

Design - design your page setup mikroblog
Connections - linking your account on Twitter with external services such as YouTube (when you add your video to twitter a message about this).


That's actually all about using twitter. It should be noted that the Russian-speaking users of Twitter now has only about 40000 people. And this, given that the monthly service used by about 30-40 million, a drop in the sea. Because the resource is created and "Russian Tvitteryan Blog - Twitter in Russian: Twitter" with a rating of users. Now the leader of over 33 thousand «Followers», and in the west there are accounts with more than 1 million «Followers».

In my opinion, the popularity of the service brought it possible for users to add simple message SMSkami. After all, there are cases when the news first hit the network is through Twitter posts made with a mobile phone. Worked is that they appear instantly in the tapes of all who enter it a "favorite". Unfortunately, while in the CIS and has been posting to Twitter sms, but is not yet clear policy of tariffs on them for different mobile operators. Therefore, we can post or from a computer, either directly or through various programs, and using special programs for mobile who have access to the Internet through your mobile operator.
