Opera launches Opera Mail - GREAT!

Opera, one of the most popular cross-platform browser has just launched its Opera Mail.

I'm a happy user of the Opera browser for several years now. And their browser just keep on improving. Its fast and does the job you need of a browser.

So are they competing with Google Mail?

My answer is no. Opera is just expanding its service offerings to its users. And this is a good alternative for those who have been looking for a good email service for a change. Once you create your account, you will have an automatic @myopera.com extension.

I just tried making an account to see how its interface looks like. It's pretty neat! I'm happy with its interface and pleasing to the eyes.

The new Opera Mail service is still in beta and I'm sure that the Opera Mail Team will have more coming for its users.


Go ahead and give it a spin! And you will be surely delighted.
