Is there any way of controlling the layout of the Email, Feeds, Filters, Searches, etc on the Mail panel (F4)? I never use most of them and its cluttering the page. I think I speak for most users in that they want their newsgroups in one area, their email in another, and their feeds in another. Most of us couldn't care less about Attachments, Labels, Followed Threads or Filters. Email - Newsgroups - Feeds. Opera needs to get this better organized. Also folders need to be able to be implemented for email and feeds. Having all feeds being dumped into one area is absurd. Some of us follow hundreds of feeds. It enables you to track stuff so much more efficiently than stumbling from website to website checking for new stuff. So RSS rocks. No question. Now it needs organization.
Also for Notes - we need a timer implemented. So when I write a note, I have a reminder available that will give me a visual alert, an audio alert, an email alert or a SMS alert to my phone in case I'm out.

I think you can manually delete those views from the some .ini file. Never done so myself, so you'll need someone else to help you with this.

In Opera you use filters to organise messages. Be it email, newsgroups or feeds. There are no folders in Opera for that, and I doubt there ever will be. There is one single store for messages (although by account), and every access point you see in the panel is a filter. Before going any further, I suggest you read the mail tutorial: http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/mail/

That's a nice idea, but better suited for opera.wishlist. I also think there are Unite services available that do this, or similar. It's worth checking out.

Yeah - you're right. I remember a few years ago editing the Speedial .ini list and it worked great. You can do much with an .ini file. :)

Thanks for that reminder. I do need to keep on referring back to it as my knowledge in this area increases and I can make more use of that I read. But....Opera needs to get with the program. Every major email program allows folders. Its the natural way to organize things, be it bookmarks, files, groups of folders, etc. Cut and Paste are the magic commands to perfect organization. Opera does it perfectly in Bookmarks. They just need to use the same way of organization for Feeds, Email and Usenet. And Notes...:)

I'm more interested in organizing the hundreds of newsgroups and feeds I'd like to follow instead of wasting time on the ad filled web. I'd just like to group like minded usenet groups together.

Seriously, if talking about "hundreds of" I would really consider about using a real feedreader and a real newsclient for comfort. This Opera toy is pain in the ass for these things. Opera should browse, nothing else and reading more than one usenet group with it's rudimentary client makes me sick.
