I Have Opera Mail as a Backup, and use to get Hotmail POP, in emergency, so I dont lose my Thousands of Hotmails as hotmail only has around 6 months of emails on server, whereas my Hotmail webmail has years of Emails. I use Opera Mail when Webmail is playing up. Also use on my UX50 Sony and SonyEricsson 3 UK Network....
