You may want to set up Opera as an IMAP for AOL Mail, and I believe that those server port settings are the same as Outlook, and can be found on Google. This way you can avoid the AOL page, which could be causing problems for you with any security settings. (Being a former AOL user, I know these problems too!)

As Per Yahoo Mail, I gave up years ago. Yahoo seems to despise any OS or any browser.

AOL Mail is kind of a high priority for me, followed by Yahoo Mail. I will try other sites but none of the others except for maybe Ebay are so difficult.

Pardon me, I meant Mozilla, however you say that is not working at AOL Mail. Will masquerading as Mozilla solve problems at sites other than AOL Mail?

Please explain how tomasquerade it as Netscape. I found buttons that allow you to ID the browser as either IE, Mozilla or Opera. None of these selections got me past the Javascript problem when attempting to access AOL Mail.

To: Terry Maiden,

I'd keep 8.54 and masquerade it as Netscape. The page rendering shall be
unaffected generally, but the javascsripting problem shall disappear.

Yrs,
David

According to install.sh for Opera 8.54, the files are installed into:
/usr/bin /usr/share/opera /usr/share/doc/opera

A find -name opera* from / might reveal other locations (man?).

This version of Opera is just too old. On many websites it gets
Javascript errors and the site will not run. I looked in the Opera
folder for a uninstall script but found none. I looked at the various
functions inside Opera 8.54 when it runs, no uninstall. Is there an
elegant way to remove 8.54? Is all of it in its folder or is it like
abiword and hides files all over the system?
