Hi,

I'd like to know if will be possible in next release to open a new tab
with a new user session.
It could be much useful to open, for example, two differents email
account with the same ISP with the same browser.

Now, for example, I've two gmail account.
I can log in the first with Opera but the second I must login with IE.

thanks

Why at all you would login into gmail ???
Just use Opera Mail like you do for this newsgroup.

How would this feature work? You'd specify that for *.gmail.com, you'd
like the cookies NOT to be shared in different windows ?

I can't think of another website where that might be useful...Or another
browser that would let you do that.

Just use Opera Mail like Arioch suggests :)

I don't use Opera Mail for this newsgroup (I'm using mesnews :) and I
use The Bat! as default email client but, sometimes, when I'm not at
home, I use Opera to check Gmail account. I've 2 Gmail account so...

There's another reason, not for Gmail, hotmail and so on. I'd like,
sometimes, to check a site from 2 differents account (for example a
Drupal website where I'm logged as Admin and where I'd like to login as
user). This is the same case...

something like this, for example... or... I don't know.
I don't remember exactly but I'm think I've read somewhere that IE8
-and maybe Chrome- could be something like this.

Is there a thing like Opera Portable, so you could run two independent
Opera's each from its own folder ?

Maybe some mess with SandBoxie ?

However, i have FF to open the same site as in Opera with another account
:-)

Why? You haven't ever really used Google apps, have you?

From GMail, I can quickly open my personal calendar, my iGoogle page, my Reader page, my Google
Docs page, etc.

All of those are keyed to how I am logged in at the moment.

I only use Firefox for that, since Opera support for Google apps is a bit spotty (Google's
fault, I know), but also because the extension I use to monitor all my GMail accounts does not
work in Opera.

That is one very good reason why you'd log into GMail.

Another is if you don't particularly want to download all your GMail into the local PC. You
just want to browse it.

I'm sure there may be other reasons, but we already have enough to justify this request.

I use Gmail from Opera all of the time and it works great. Actually, all
of the reasons you just gave were for supporting Google apps in Opera, not
for being able to open two sessions of the same website. Any comments on
that ?

Ouch. The truth hurts so much. Wait, no, I think I'm sitting on a pin
again.

Ok, other websites where this might be useful...ANYTHING WHICH USES
COOKIES. Ok, but in all seriousness, it would probably be useful for
booking flights, banking, ecommerce sites...It's a feature that would
definitely provide value, but I think the use-cases are pretty specific.
If it were something that were easy to implement from a user-interface
perspective, I'd be all for it, but it doesn't look like anybody can think
of a good way to make this work.

So do you actually have something constructive to say? Your inflammatory
comments are not clever or funny, nor do they contribute very much to the
discussion.

Something as simple as breathing is unfathomable to you, so that's not a meaningful insult.
(You probably now think breathing is stupid too.)

And I don't have your email address, you stupid git. Whatever you put in the subject line is
probably just more lies lies lies.

Before you try to give it to me, I do not want it. Because wasting even more of my time on

If breathing were inconceivable to me, I would probably be dead. No, I do
not think breathing is stupid. Not mine anyway. Yours, probably.

Actually, I put "Re: New tab with new session" in the subject line,
because that is (was, anyway) the subject of the THREAD, a concept which
you have yet to grasp. The email address beside my name works, however,
and you should be using it to insult people instead of your continual
public spewing of veiled attempts at proving how smart you are (often even
the "veiled" part is off-topic).

Obviously you don't understand the concept. You are the one who provokes
people (or perhaps just me) every time you post, rather than trying to
further the conversation, while I simply try to ignore you but am often
unable to restrain myself in the face of such massive stupidity when
combined with your constant prodding. For the betterment of society,
please stop talking.

Maybe I missed it, but could you possibly remind me again why you didn't
want to just read your mail using Opera Mail instead of using the web
interface? Was there another application that benefits from this? I
think you can run different Opera instances, but I think it's a little
painful to do unless you are already familiar with how Opera works. I
could be wrong though.

I just ran a test, and yes, it is possible to run two separate Opera
instances, which means that you could do this if you want.

If you duplicate your Opera folder, you can do something like:

opera -pd <folder1>
opera -pd <folder2>

And you will get two different instances of Opera that will not clobber
each other. Additionally, if you use Opera Link, you could probably
achieve some synchonization between them, but it would be better to just
run one with your one program that you wanted, and do everything else
through some specific other one. That way you have a main and a child,
and anything important is kept in the main.

At home I use Gmail on imap with The Bat! from many years ago.
Excellent email client and I bought it.

At work I've to use Thunderbird for commercial reason but I can't use
it to login into Gmail becouse... it's... politically incorrect :-) So
I prefere to read my mail from web UI. It's simplest and faster.

There's another reason... I use Opera from many year but I prefer to
use it only as browser. I like Opera Mail very much but I prefer to
keep away the surfing with the mailing activity (privacy and
performance reasons).
Idem for newsreader, feedreader etc.
I use a specific software for each activity

That's it

For a second session, you could use OperaPortable (
http://www.kejut.com/operaportable ).
For more sessions, I think you could use several Opera@USB (
http://www.opera-usb.com ) at the same time. OperaPortable uses always the
same temp folder, while each Opera@USB uses his own folder.

thanks a lot but I don't like too much this solution... :(

For the moment I think I'll configure the second Gmail's inbox into the
first account + label + filter so I can check both from the same
account.

I don't know if this makes a difference, but last week I got the new Thunderbird client. It is
vastly improved. The old 2.x one was serviceable, but the new 3.0 one is actually useful.

They've added tabs, searching (I don't consider the old thing searching), and best of all
threads (finally catching up with newsgroup innovations).

You should give it a look.

In that case, running two different sessions would NORMALLY cause your bookmarks and such to
grow out of synch with each other, since they are separate instances.

By adding Opera Link into the mix, it will automatically keep them together, even though they
maintain separate cookies.

Still, it's a bit of a clunky solution for what you want.

yes, I know but I don't like to have 2 differents installation of any
browser. I don't want duplicate plugins, widget, toolbar, bla bla bla

I don't like too much Mozilla software ;-)
Mozilla apps are always slower than other, needs a lot of memory, needs
a lot of plugin => more memory usage and more crashes possibility

I sow Thunderbird 3 when it was beta but then I prefered postbox (now
not freeware) and then I come back to The Bat!

Even if i've to change, I'll change to Opera Mail or... I don't know.

I'll try, thanks (but I'd prefer a feature like firefox! ;)

This is a newsgroup where Opera fans can come to share their wish lists
and make comments on them with other Opera fans (or not fans), but it
isn't officially considered in the development cycle of Opera Software.
People still visit here from Opera Software, but I believe that this is
on their own time, and not in an official capacity. Thus, it is good to
share here so that you can get feedback on your idea and possibly
discover that such a feature already exists, but if you want to make
sure that it ends up somewhere on Opera's list, whether as a no-go or a
possibility, you should look at the support options on Opera's site.

ok, thanks. I thought there was a special forum or similar (like this
ng) and not a generic support option.

Greetings
Happy Xmas
