While I consider the whole rollout a catastrophe that Opera brought upon themselves, I think any poll here is utterly meaningless. If for no other reason, then because such a minuscule proportion of...

The whole point of the exercise was to come up with a proprietary Gmail -- so insulting it as "looking like Gmail" isn't going to yield much leverage.

They just chose the term "Classic" to highlight the parallel with New Coke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_coke) -- which, as most probably remember, was quickly followed by a reintroduction of...

The new interface should have been implemented as a project fork, not a replacement.

Is there a feature tucked away somewhere (a config file or something) to enable sorting the list of messages for a mailbox on two criteria? And/or one to keep unread messages at the top?
