<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 "Refuse" rules have exactly the opposite effect of the "Accept/Allow" 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 "Quick reply" 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 "Import e-mail"</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 "My folders" 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> |

<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 "quick reply" 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 "Quick reply" 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 "Not spam" 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 "Quick find" field (which searches message headers like To, From, and Subject)</li> |
<li>Click "Display all headers" to view the e-mail headers (more information) of a selected message</li> |
</ul> |
|

<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 "My folders" 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 "Copy to"</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 "My folders" 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 "SPAM LETTER". |
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 "Entire message" 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 "Start search" field in the Hotlist and press <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> |
|

<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 "Mail for...". |
</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 "News" 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 "Quick find" 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 "News at" 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 "Reply" to post a follow-up article, as an answer to the article you are currently reading</li> |
<li>Click "Reply all" 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 "cross-posting")</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> |

+ ++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. +
+ + + +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 on the menu. +

+
- Back and forward addresses
+
-

- Marks links as visited +
+
+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. +

+ ++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: +
+ +-
+
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 2.0 +
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 +
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 - most secure +
+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. +
+ +Option | +Explanation | +
---|---|
+ | 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. +
