Yes, I have also discovered all of these same things. The solution: Do not attempt to access your operamail account for the next 149 days. (at this time the account will be automatically deleted) During those 149 days... send a flood of eMails to your own inbox atr operamail. (but do not attempt to retrieve them) Maybe if many, many users do this..... They just might get the massage. But somehow I highly doubt that they are smart enough to get it.
