My Opera & Email Is Shutting Down
Now here’s a Halloween surprise for you.
Today, Opera has announced that they will be shutting down My Opera platform on March 1, 2014, which means that you have 4 months to export your blog and / or save all the data.
In addition to that, My Opera Email will too be discontinued so you should start looking for a new (and reliable) provider as soon as possible, such as Gmail or Outlook.
On a positive note, Opera Link content will still be accessible via link.opera.com and forums will be migrated to www.opera.com so not all news are bad.
In the meantime, head over to the following post and learn more about exporting your data.

Is it because of the N.S.A. surveillance?
What else is left? They had pretty much sold out about everything that made them great.
Did you ever noticed that they made this announcement on a week there hasn’t been a launching of any version? Last launching was on 2013/10/24 and there isn’t anything new until today, 2013/11/04.
Too strange it was just a coincidence …
Why is that strange?
…and soon Opera will be forgotten, forever…
Because a barely used email service goes away?
I was not happy about this at all. Finally moved pretty much every service I use from my opera mail to gmail.
There is an important thing that was not even mentioned and it even deserves an article for itself on the FavBrowser site:
The Opera Desktop Team Blog was Moved to blogs.opera.com/desktop — http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/301
