As far as I know, it the only email client that comes integrated with a browser. So you don't have to run 2 applications. Emailing and browsing goes together. Nothing can beat it.

Found a workaround for those who already have an Inbox and Sent in Thunderbird but still want to import their emails from Opera: Create in Thunderbird two (or more) new subfolders to Inbox. Export your mails from Opera according to the instructions above, and replace the newly created folders without the extension with the files from Opera. Then all you have to do is open up Thunderbird and voilá: all your Opera mails are in there too, in your Inbox subfolders. If you want to re-integrate the mails after that, it's just Drag and Drop...

You've saved me from losing some important emails and your instructions were very clear. Thanks for this–I didn’t like Opera’s handling of folders so thus the switch to Thunderbird.

Set up a gmail account 2. Forward mail from your POP account to the gmail account (if you can configure your server preferences) 3. Have Thunderbird check your Gmail account (via POP) This way you can use Gmails very good spam filtering on top of Thunderbird. The result is nearly air tight.
