Note: If you're running 32-bit Windows, make sure operamail.exe is at "C:\Program Files\Opera Mail\operamail.exe" and merge "opera_m2_win32.reg" instead. If you choose "yes", you'll probably have to go back into Default Programs and associate "Opera M2" again. Note: If Opera Mail pops up a dialog asking if you want to make Opera Mail the default client, check the "do not ask me again" box and choose "no". Then, in "Default Programs" in the Windows Control Panel, use the "Opera M2" entry to set Opera Mail associations. Right-click on "opera_m2_win64.reg" and choose merge.
Then, download make_m2_default_client.zip (email shadow2531 on the gmail domain for the file *if* the link doesn't work) and extract it. Then, Opera Mail will load from the right place while still using your existing Opera Mail profile. *If* this is the case, just download the Opera Mail installer, launch it, click "Options", set "install path" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Mail", set "install for" to "All Users", check all 3 shortcut boxes and install. Because of an incorrect default install path in the Opera Mail installer, it might have been installed at "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Opera Mail\operamail.exe" instead. These entries will be totally separate from the Opera-provided entries (that don't work properly).įirst though, make sure operamail.exe is at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Mail\operamail.exe". To fix things, we'll add our own entries in the registry (using the same methods that Mozilla Thunderbird uses) so that "Opera M2" shows up in Default Programs in Windows.
This also breaks Opera Mail's "Default email client" option in its preference (don't use it). Its installer and protocol association were never set up *properly* to make Opera Mail show up in Default Programs in the Windows Control Panel to allow it to be set as the default handler for MAILTO, NEWS and MAPI, and the default mail client in general. Opera Mail is an unfinished conversion of the Opera 12 browser suite to show/use only the Opera Mail parts.
