<title>Preferences, Privacy</title>
</head>
<body>
 
<h1 id="privacy">Privacy</h1>
 
<p>
These settings give you control over your privacy on the Internet.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
Read Opera's tutorial for an excellent introduction to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/security/"> protecting your personal information and security</a> on the Internet.
</p>
 
<h2 id="privacy-referrer">Referrer logging</h2>
 
<p>
Some Web sites make a note of which page you came from, and behave accordingly.
Turn referrer logging off if you do not want one site to know which other site you just came from.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Note:</span>
Some sites depend on referrer logging to work properly.
</p>
 
<h2 id="privacy-redirection">Automatic redirection</h2>
 
<p>
Some Web pages automatically redirect you to another page or site.
Disable automatic redirection if you would rather have manual control by clicking redirection links.
</p>
 
<h2 id="privacy-trace">Caching password-protected pages</h2>
 
<p>
If you log in to use a Web site, the log-in page will always be deleted from Opera's cache when you exit.
</p>
 
<p>
To make sure that Web pages you have visited within a password-protected site are also deleted, check the option to use cookies to trace password-protected pages.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Note:</span>
Checking this option will also prevent password-protected pages from appearing in your global history, and links to these pages will not be marked as visited.
</p>
 
<h2 id="privacy-cookie">General cookie handling</h2>
 
<p>
There are four overall ways of handling cookies:
</p>
 
<table class="nice">
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Explanation</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Automatically accept all cookies</td>
<td>Accept cookies regardless of who sets them</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Accept only cookies from selected servers</td>
<td>Create a list of servers to accept cookies from</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Display received cookies</td>
<td>View each cookie before accepting or refusing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Do not accept cookies</td>
<td>Refuse all cookies without question</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
<p>
The choices below fine-tune cookie handling.
They are applied in addition to, and therefore depend on, the selections you made above:
</p>
 
<table class="nice">
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Explanation</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Only accept cookies for the server</td>
<td>Accept cookies set by current server to itself, e.g. <span class="url">server.example.org</span>, but refuse cookies intended for other servers within the same domain, e.g. <span class="url">otherservers.example.org</span>, in addition to refusing third-party cookies (see below)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Do not accept third-party cookies</td>
<td>Accept cookies from all servers within current domain, e.g. <span class="url">example.org</span>, but refuse cookies from another domain, e.g. <span class="url">example.com</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Display third-party cookies</td>
<td>View cookies from other domains before accepting or refusing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Accept from any servers</td>
<td>Accept cookies set by any server in any domain</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
<h2 id="privacy-filter">Cookie filter</h2>
 
<p>
You can handle cookies based on which site sets them, for example accepting cookies from <span class="url">trustable.example.org</span>, but refusing cookies from <span class="url">questionable.example.com</span>.
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Edit server filters"/></li>
<li>Enter address to server</li>
<li>Click drop-down button and select rule you wish to apply</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Add"/></li>
</ol>
 
<table class="nice">
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Explanation</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Accept from server</td>
<td>Entering <span class="url">www.example.org</span> accepts cookies from <span class="url">www.example.org</span>, but not <span class="url">web.example.org</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Accept from domains</td>
<td>Entering <span class="url">example.org</span> accepts cookies from both <span class="url">www.example.org</span> and <span class="url">web.example.org</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Accept third party from server</td>
<td>Servers entered will be able to set third-party cookies</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Accept third party from domain</td>
<td>All servers within domains entered will be able to set third-party cookies</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Allow illegal paths</td>
<td>Control illegal usage of top level domains</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Note:</span>
The &quot;Refuse&quot; rules have exactly the opposite effect of the &quot;Accept/Allow&quot; rules, and are therefore not listed here.
</p>
 
<h2>Additional cookie options</h2>
 
<table class="nice">
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Explanation</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Throw away new cookies on exit</td>
<td>All new or updated cookies will be deleted when you exit Opera</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Display warning for illegal domains</td>
<td>Opera warns you if server attempts to set cookie where domain does not correctly match server</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Display warning for illegal path</td>
<td>Opera warns you if server attempts to set cookie where there is a path mismatch</td>
</tr>

<title>Using M2</title>
</head>
 
<body>
 
<h1 id="m2">Using M2</h1>
 
<h2 id="m2-introduction">Introduction to M2</h2>
 
<p>
M2 is Opera's news and e-mail client, designed for speed, elegance, and user friendliness.
It has many unique features:
</p>
 
<ul>
<li>M2 is immensely responsive even with thousands of messages</li>
<li>Use the &quot;Quick reply&quot; field for fast and chat-like e-mail messaging</li>
<li>Folders (access points) to mailing lists and attachments are generated automatically</li>
<li>E-mail searches update dynamically when you get new messages</li>
<li>Click on a contact to see all messages from that contact</li>
<li>IMAP and news are integrated</li>
</ul>
 
<p>
With M2, creating folders and sorting messages manually becomes superfluous.
To see a group of messages instantly, for example all messages from a certain person or all messages with image attachments, simply click the corresponding access point.
</p>
 
<p>
All messages in M2 are kept in a database and can therefore appear several places.
If a friend has posted a message on a mailing list, the message will appear both under your mailing-list access point and the access point for your friend.
</p>
 
<p>
The Received folder contains all your incoming messages.
You do not have to move any messages from this folder.
Instead, you can make a message appear in as many additional folders as you like.
</p>
 
<p>
If you delete an access point, the messages it referred to are not deleted because an access point only contains pointers to messages.
You can only delete messages in the list of messages (message view).
</p>
 
<p>
To save disk space, M2 will automatically compress mail boxes if needed.
</p>
 
<h2 id="m2-import">Importing e-mail</h2>
 
<p>
Follow this procedure to import messages, contact information, and settings:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Select <span class="mainmenu">New account</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu</li>
<li>Select &quot;Import e-mail&quot;</li>
<li>Select which e-mail client to import from</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Choose"/> to select folder to import from, unless already correct</li>
<li>Select which old account to import from</li>
<li>Select whether to import settings, contact, messages, or a combination</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Next"/> to start importing</li>
<li>When the import process is done, click <input type="button" class="button" value="Finish"/></li>
</ol>
 
<p>
Messages are imported like this:
</p>
 
<ul>
<li>Your old folder tree is put under &quot;My folders&quot; in the Hotlist</li>
<li>Messages in your old Outbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash folders are put in the corresponding M2 folders</li>
<li>All old incoming messages (Inbox and folder tree) will appear in M2's Received folder</li>
</ul>
 
<h2 id="m2-new">New account</h2>
 
<p>
Follow this procedure to set up a new account without importing old messages:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Select <span class="mainmenu">New account</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu</li>
<li>Select type of e-mail account (POP if you are unsure)</li>
<li>Enter your name, e-mail address, and optionally an organization you belong to</li>
<li>Enter your user (log-in) name and password (given to you bey your service provider)</li>
<li>Enter mail-server information from your service provider</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Finish"/> to create the account</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
After your account has been set up, M2 will transfer, from the mail server, messages that are not already on your computer.
This may take some time, but you can use M2 and Opera in the meantime.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
See Opera's on-line article for information about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=596">using M2 with your Premium OperaMail account</a>.
</p>
 
<h2 id="m2-compose">Writing messages</h2>
 
<ol>
<li>Start
<ol class="alfa">
<li>Click Compose or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>E</kbd> to compose a new message</li>
<li>Double-click a message in the Drafts folder to continue editing a draft</li>
<li>Double-click a message in the Sent folder to resend an old message, with changes if you like</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Enter recipients' e-mail addresses in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields (auto-completion will be offered for Contacts)</li>
<li>Enter your message's subject</li>
<li>Write your message</li>
<li>If you wish to add files to the message, click Attach</li>
<li>Finish
<ol class="alfa">
<li>Save the message as a draft by pressing Save if you wish to continue later</li>
<li>Send the message by pressing Send in the Compose view</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
To change the plain-text font in the compose window, go to <a href="fonts.html">Fonts and colors</a> in Preferences and choose a new font for multi-line text fields in forms.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
Click the View menu to show or hide elements in the Compose view.
</p>
 
<h2 id="m2-read">Reading messages</h2>
 
<p>
M2 transfers new messages to your computer on a regular basis, so you do not have to check your messages manually.
</p>
 
<p>
To go through your new messages, enable the Hotlist with <kbd>F4</kbd>, click the Mail tab, and double-click Unread to see all unread messages.
</p>
 
<h3>Message view explained</h3>
 
<p>
The message view is divided into four parts:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Toolbar with buttons for common actions</li>
<li>Field that lists (unread) messages</li>
<li>Field that displays the contents of the currently selected message</li>
<li>Field used to &quot;quick reply&quot; to a message</li>
</ol>
 
<p>You can click on the columns to sort listed messages:</p>
<ul>
<li>The left-most column displays a symbol for each message:
<table class="nice">
<tr>
<th>Symbol</th>
<th>Meaning</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Star</td>
<td>New messages are marked as unread</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Checkmark</td>
<td>You have marked the message as read</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Arrow pointing up</td>
<td>The message has been sent (outgoing messages)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Arrow pointing left</td>
<td>You have replied to the message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Arrow pointing right</td>
<td>You have forwarded the message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Twisted triangle</td>
<td>You have redirected the message</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
 
<li>The Subject column displays a triangle if the message belongs to a thread (click to expand), and an envelope to indicate that the message is an e-mail</li>
<li>The paper-clip column displays an icon for messages that contain file attachments</li>
</ul>
 
<p>
Messages in <span class="red">red</span> have not been seen yet (selected by cursor).
Messages in <span class="bold">bold</span> have not been marked as read yet.
</p>
 
<h3>Reading messages</h3>
 
<p>
Below is a suggested procedure for going through your incoming (unread) messages:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Recognize it!
<ol class="alfa">
<li>If a message is spam (advertising, propaganda, etc.) press <kbd>Delete</kbd> to put it in your Trash folder</li>
<li>If a message is from a friend, and the icon in the From column is ghosted, press <kbd>A</kbd> to add your friend to your Contacts</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Handle it!
<ol class="alfa">
<li>To reply instantly to a message, enter your reply in the field to the left of the &quot;Quick reply&quot; button and click the button</li>
<li>If you wish to edit a message before replying, press <kbd>R</kbd></li>
<li>To forward a message to a third party, press <kbd>F</kbd></li>
<li>If you wish to handle a message later, click Label to set a label (e.g. Important or Meeting); the message will appear under the Labels access point</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Move on!
<ol class="alfa">
<li>When you have handled a message, press <kbd>G</kbd> to mark it as read and move to the next unread message</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
When you have gone through your unread messages, go to the Hotlist, open your mailing lists, and repeat the procedure.
</p>
 
<p>
Once in a while, take the trouble to check your Spam folder.
If a message from a friend has been mistakenly marked as spam, click the &quot;Not spam&quot; button to make it appear as an ordinary message in your Unread folder.
</p>
 
<h3>Message-view features</h3>
 
<p>
Here are some things you can do in the message view:
</p>
 
<ul>
<li>Sort the message list by clicking the column headers (From, Subject, etc.)</li>
<li>Find particular messages by entering text in the &quot;Quick find&quot; field (which searches message headers like To, From, and Subject)</li>
<li>Click &quot;Display all headers&quot; to view the e-mail headers (more information) of a selected message</li>
</ul>
 
<p>
Right-click a message for multiple choices:
</p>

<h3>Building your own folder tree</h3>
 
<p>
If you wish to organize your messages beyond what M2 does automatically, you can create traditional message folders with filters.
</p>
 
<p>
To create a top-level folder, right-click &quot;My folders&quot; and select <span class="mainmenu">New folder</span>.
You can build a folder tree by creating folders within folders.
</p>
 
<p>
You can make messages appear in your folders:
</p>
 
<ol class="alfa">
<li>Manually, by right-clicking a message in the message view, and selecting a folder under &quot;Copy to&quot;</li>
<li>Automatically, by creating message filters</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
You can make a message appear in as many folders as you like.
</p>
 
<h2 id="m2-filter">Message filters</h2>
 
<ol>
<li>Select <span class="mainmenu">Filters</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu</li>
<li>Select folder for which to make a filter
<ul><li>Spam folder and folders under &quot;My folders&quot; only</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Add filter"/> to create a new filter</li>
<li>Select which part of the message to scan</li>
<li>Select how to evaluate the text</li>
<li>Enter text to look for</li>
<li>Select whether to mark a message as read if it matches the filter</li>
<li>Select whether to let the filter apply to all messages, or only messages you receive from now on</li>
<li>Repeat the procedure if you need multiple filter rules
<ul><li>When using And and Or, And is processed before Or</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Activate the filter by clicking <input type="button" class="button" value="OK"/></li>
</ol>
 
<h2 id="m2-spam">Spam filter</h2>
 
<p>
The Spam folder separates advertisement and unwanted messages from messages in other folders.
Spam can be handled in two ways:
</p>
 
<ol class="alfa">
<li>Manually, by creating a message filter for the Spam folder</li>
<li>Automatically, using the built-in M2 spam filter</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
As an experiment, try to make a message filter for the Spam folder that looks for the phrase &quot;SPAM LETTER&quot;.
Then send a message to yourself containing this text and see if the spam filter catches it.
</p>
 
<p>
The internal spam filter examines messages for suspicious content, missing sender address, etc.
If too many questionable matters are found, the message is considered spam.
You can set the internal filter to be agressive, mild, or turn it off completely if you want to handle spam manually.
</p>
 
<h2 id="m2-search">Finding messages</h2>
 
<p>
As the number of messages on your computer grows, it becomes necessary to quickly find just that one particular message you are looking for:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Select <span class="mainmenu">Search</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu</li>
<li>In the dialog that opens, enter the text to look for</li>
<li>Select which parts of a message you want to search
<ul><li>Select &quot;Entire message&quot; for a full search</li></ul>
</li>
<li>Select time period to stay within</li>
<li>Select whether to look for the entire phrase or random occurences of individual words</li>
<li>Select which folder to look in</li>
<li>Select whether to also look in sub-folders</li>
<li>Start your search by clicking <input type="button" class="button" value="OK"/></li>
</ol>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
To do a quick search, enter text in the &quot;Start search&quot; field in the Hotlist and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>.

</li>
<li>When sending or replying to a message, you can have all recipients automatically added to your contact list</li>
<li>Specify a signature that will appear at the bottom of all messages you send</li>
</ul>
 
<h3 id="mail-properties">Fine-tuning access points</h3>
 
<p>
To fine-tune access-point properties, select an access point in the Holist and press <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd>.

<h2 id="m2-imap">IMAP</h2>
 
<h3>About IMAP</h3>
 
<p>
IMAP organizes your e-mail messages on the mail server.
Regardless of where you are when you look at your e-mail, you will see the same messages organized the same way, even if you use different computers.
This is much more work than with POP accounts.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Warning:</span>
Setting up an e-mail account to use both POP and IMAP simultaneously is likely to cause problems.
Therefore, use either POP or IMAP for each account.
</p>
 
<h3>Setting up an IMAP account</h3>
 
<p>
To set up an IMAP account, follow <a href="#m2-new">the procedure for POP</a> and select IMAP instead of POP when asked.
</p>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Note:</span>
Make sure the e-mail service you want to use supports IMAP.
</p>
 
<h3>Using IMAP</h3>
 
<p>
When your IMAP folder has been set up, and all messages are downloaded to your computer, your IMAP folder tree appears in the Hotlist under &quot;Mail for...&quot;.
</p>
 
<p>
The INBOX folder is the default folder for incoming messages and cannot be deleted.
</p>
 
<p>
Double-click your INBOX to read your e-mail.
Reading and writing messages over IMAP is similar to working with POP.
</p>
 
<h3>Maintaining IMAP folders</h3>
 
<p>
Select <span class="mainmenu">IMAP folders</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu to customize your IMAP folder tree.
</p>
 
<p>
Click the checkboxes to select which IMAP folders you want to access from your computer.
</p>
 
<p>
Click <input type="button" class="button" value="New"/> to create a new IMAP folder.
</p>
 
<p>
Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Delete"/> to delete an IMAP folder on the mail server. (Note that all messages in that folder will be lost.)
</p>
 
<h3>Moving messages between folders</h3>
 
<p>
To move a message from one IMAP folder to another, drag the message from the message view and drop it to the new folder.
</p>
 
<h3>Options</h3>
 
<p>
Account options are the same as for POP, with these additions:
</p>
 
<ul>
<li>You can set the path to your IMAP root folder
<ul><li>This is only needed if indicated by your service provider</li></ul>
</li>
<li>You can choose a folder on the IMAP server in which to store messages sent from your IMAP account</li>
</ul>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Note:</span>
To take full advantage of M2's IMAP capabilities, you should be connected to the Internet.
</p>
 
<h2 id="news">News</h2>
 
<p>
While an e-mail is usually sent to a single person or a few people, posting a news article can be compared to putting notices on a public bulletin board.
</p>
 
<h3>Setting up a news account</h3>
 
<p>
To set up your news account, do the following:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Select <span class="mainmenu">New account</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu</li>
<li>Select &quot;News&quot; when the account wizard starts</li>
<li>Enter your name, e-mail address, and organization (optional)</li>
<li>Enter the news-server information given to you by your service provider</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="Finish"/> to create your new account</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
To participate in newsgroups about the Opera Web browser, enter <span class="url">news.opera.com</span> as news server.
</p>
 
<h3>Subscribing to newsgroups</h3>
 
<p>
To subscribe to newsgroups on your news server, do the following:
</p>
 
<ol>
<li>Select <span class="mainmenu">Newsgroups</span> on the <span class="mainmenu"><a href="main.html#mailmenu">Mail</a></span> menu</li>
<li>Subscribe to groups by clicking the respective checkboxes in the list</li>
<li>Click <input type="button" class="button" value="OK"/> to subscribe</li>
</ol>
 
<p>
<span class="note">Tip:</span>
Enter text in the &quot;Quick find&quot; field to find particular newsgroups without scrolling through the whole list.
</p>
 
<h3>Reading news</h3>
 
<p>
To read a newsgroup, double-click the group you want to read in your &quot;News at&quot; access point.
</p>
 
<p>
Reading and writing news articles is practically the same as working with e-mail messages. Note, however, the following:
</p>
 
<ul>
<li>Click &quot;Reply&quot; to post a follow-up article, as an answer to the article you are currently reading</li>
<li>Click &quot;Reply all&quot; to both post a follow-up and reply to the author by e-mail</li>
<li>Enter a comma-separated list of groups if you want to post your article in multiple groups (called &quot;cross-posting&quot;)</li>
<li>Enter e-mail addresses in the Cc field to send people copies of the article by e-mail</li>
<li>Deleting a news article only deletes your local copy -- a news article is never deleted from the server</li>
</ul>

+ +

+The drag-and-drop procedure is simple: +

+ +
    +
  1. Move the mouse pointer to the item you want to drag
  2. +
  3. Click (and hold) the left mouse button
  4. +
  5. Move the mouse pointer to where you want to drop the item
  6. +
  7. Release the mouse button
  8. +
+ +

Items you can drag

+ +

+The following items can be dragged: +

+ +
    +
  • Links in Web pages
  • +
  • Images in Web pages
  • +
  • Items on the Personal bar
  • +
  • Buttons on Opera's toolbars
  • +
  • Hotlist items
  • +
  • Tabs on the Page bar
  • +
  • Items in Customize toolbars
  • +
+ +

+Dragged items can be dropped on: +

+ +
    +
  • All toolbars
  • +
  • The Hotlist (and panels)
  • +
  • The Page bar
  • +
  • The Web-page area

Multimedia

+ + +

+You can fine-tune how images, sound, and animations appear in Web pages. +

+ +

+Tip: +For instant access to most of the settings described on this page, press F12. +

+ +

Images

+ +

+Most Web pages are made up of a combination of text and images. +You can set Opera to always show all images, only show images that have already been downloaded (cached), or not show images at all. +

+ +

+Tip: +Click the "Show Images" button on the Address bar (or press G) to turn images off and drastically increase speed. +

+ +

+Animated images are mostly advertisement banners. +Turn animation off to get a calmer browsing experience. +

+ +

Embedded audio and video

+ +

+Some Web pages contain video streams and background sounds. +Disable embedded audio (turn them off) if you find them annoying. +

+ +

Java

+ +

+Some sites use Java to offer interactive content on Web pages. +Disable Java if you do not want to run Web-page Java applets on your computer. +

+ +

+Download Opera with Java support + +

+ +

+Learn more about Java +

+ +

Plug-ins

+ +

+Plug-ins are third-party software often used to enable multimedia in Web pages. +You must download and install plug-in software for each type of plug-in content. +(The Flash plug-in is automatically installed by Opera.) +

+ +

+Disable plug-ins to avoid plug-in content in Web pages. +

+ +

+Tip: +Opera can display a list of plug-ins currently installed on your computer. +

+ +

+Note: +If you visit a Web site that requires a plug-in you have not installed, or if you have disabled plug-ins, the Web site will probably ask you to install a suitable plug-in. +

+ +

+Learn more about plug-ins +

+ +

JavaScript

+ +

+JavaScript is a scripting language used to add certain functions to Web pages. +

+ +

+JavaScript may in rare cases be used intrusively and can therefore be turned off. +Note, however, that some pages will not work without JavaScript. +

+ +

+Tip: +To get technical information about JavaScript problems on a page, turn on the JavaScript console from Special » on the Window menu. +

    +
  1. Back and forward addresses +
      +

+Press to clear history lists. +

+ +

+Tip: +You can view your global history in the "History" panel in Opera's Hotlist, or in a separate page. +

+ +

Memory and disk cache

+ +

+A cache is an archive of Web pages you have visited. +

+ +

Memory cache

+ +

+Opera uses your computer's memory to temporarily store recently visited Web pages. +It is generally a good idea to let Opera handle memory caching automatically. +

+ +

+Tip: +Try lowering memory cache values to browse faster on old computers. +

+ +

Disk cache

+ +

+Opera stores pages locally so that you can access them quickly when you revisit them. +Increase the disk cache if you want to keep more local copies of Web pages, and keep them longer. +

+ +

+Tip: +You can see the content of your current disk cache in a separate page. +

+ +

+By default, Opera will cache all content (documents, images, and other content) on Web pages, but you can set Opera to exclude for example images. +

+ +

+Tip: +Select "Empty on exit" if you do not want to keep local copies of Web pages after you exit Opera. +

+ +

+Press to delete all cached content from your disk. +

+ + +

Server checking

+ +

+When you revisit Web pages, Opera normally asks for new versions even though most Web content is not updated very often. +Some Web sites also redirect you to a different page than the one you attempt to view. +

+ +

+Checking for changes less often, and disabling redirection checking, may speed up your browsing experience. +

+ +

+Note: +If you rarely check for changes, you may sometimes have to reload a Web page to get the newest version. +And try turning redirection checking back on if page loading suddenly halts on a particular site. +

Search

+ +

+You can perform Web searches from Opera's user interface, without going to search pages. +

+ +

+In Preferences, select your favorite search engine from the list to make it your default choice on the Address bar of new pages. +Note that search fields have a drop-down menu from which you can switch to other search engines. +

+ +

+You can specify a preferred number of hits on each page of search results, but note that some search engines may not adhere to your choice. +

+ +

+There are several ways to search the Web through Opera's user interface: +

    +
  1. Enter your search phrase in a search field on the Personal bar
  2. +
  3. Enter your search in the search field on the Address bar (click the triangle to choose search engine)
  4. +
  5. In the address field, enter a search keyword (see list in Preferences) followed by your search phrase, e.g. "g Opera" to search for Opera

Security

+ +

+You can manage your security certificates and configure security protocols. +Opera can also warn you about potentially insecure situations. +

+ +

+Tip: +Read Opera's tutorial for an excellent introduction to protecting your personal information and security on the Internet. +

+ +

Security password

+ +

+A security password prevents other people from using your certificates, as long as you select a good password and keep it secret. +Click to enable a security password. +

+ +

+If other people have access to your computer, it may be a good idea to tell Opera to ask for a password every time needed, that is every time you use certificates. +

+ +

+You can also use the security password to protect your e-mail, news, and Wand passwords with strong encryption. +

+ +

+Technical note: +If you set the security password to protect Wand data and e-mail passwords, Opera will use 168-bit triple DES (data encryption standard) encryption. Keys are derived from the security password. +

+ +

Security protocols

+ +

+Security protocols are used to communicate securely with sites where sensitive data, such as credit card information, is involved. +

+ +

Enabling and disabling protocols

+ +

+To enable a security protocol, check the respective checkbox. +Supported protocols include: +

+ +
    +
  1. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 2.0
  2. +
  3. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0
  4. +
  5. Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 - most secure
  6. +
+ +

+Disable (uncheck) SSL 2 and SSL 3 if you wish to only use the most secure protocol (TLS) to establish secure connections. +If you experience problems on secure sites, try turning SSL back on. +

+ +

Configure protocols

+ +

+You can click for example and tell Opera not to accept certain ciphers. +To prevent connections to less secure Web services, disable ciphers below 128 bits. +

+ +

+Tip: +When you visit secure sites, the padlock icon on the Address bar locks. +Move your mouse pointer over the security icon for detailed information about the current level of security. +

+ +

Certificates

+ +

+Generally, certificates are used to verify identities. +

+ +

Authorities

+ +

+Certificate authorities are used to identify secure Web sites. +Most certificate authorities you need are installed with Opera. +

+ +

+Example: +The secure version of the University of Oslo Web site is authorized by the Thawte organization. +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
OptionExplanation
Import certificates you have exported from other browsers or downloaded
Export certificates you wish to use in other browsers
Delete certificates you no longer trust or wish to use
+ + Allow connections to sites certified by this authority + Disable (uncheck) to block connections to all sites certified by authority
+ + Warn before sending data to sites certified by this authority + Enable (check) if you want Opera to warn you before using authority
+ +

+Note: +If you delete a certificate authority, you must reinstall Opera or download the certificate from the original provider to restore it. +

+ +

+Read about accepting certificates for more information. +

+ +

Personal

+ +

+Personal certificates are used to identify you as the genuine user of a Web service. +These certificates are normally installed the first time you sign up for the service. +

+ +

+The options to import, export, and delete are basically the same as for certificate authorities (see above). +

+ +

+Note: +If you delete a personal certificate, you must create a new one to use the corresponding Web service. +

+ +

Security warnings

+ +

+By default, Opera will warn you before you submit +

+ +
    +
  • a form insecurely
  • +
  • a Web page for validation
  • +
+ +

+Submitting forms to, for example, search engines and open discussion forums is harmless. +

+ +

+Tip: +Enable the security warnings if you are concerned about unintentionally sending sensitive data over the Internet. +
