MAPI4Opera - MAPI Extension for Opera

About

MAPI4Opera is an extension for Opera enabling real MAPI support. There already exists a tool named M2sendto, which creates an additional "Send to" entry at the Windows Explorer's context menu. Since this is not done via MAPI, it is very limited in its functionality. With MAPI4Opera you can send emails from any application supporting MAPI.

Features


Requirements

Windows 2000 or newer

There is also a solution for Linux, using the mailto protocol.

Installation

Download the Installer and follow the instructions.

Opera configuration

In Opera open Tools-Preferences-Advanced, go to section Programs, click on the Details button. Verify that the mailto protocol is checked.

MAPI4Opera configuration

Open the file settings.ini (Startmenu-Programs-MAPI4Opera-Settings) and check shortcut properties, which must match Opera settings.

Done. Give it a try...
Let me know if you get in trouble.
