Avencius has posted a solid summary of
what's in store for Opera 9 in
2006, based on what can be seen in Preview 1 and what's been written on Opera's blogs and forums. At the top of the
list is improved web standards support including Atom, SVG Basic, Web Forms 2.0, and some CSS3 support. Acid2
compliance, rich text editing, and OPML are among improvements for end users, and Opera Mail will get a new IMAP
back-end and a new sotrage system. Also, Opera 9 will be getting an opera:config interface (a la Firefox's
about:config), site-specific preferences, and an easily editable search engine list. Visit Avencius for more details
plus links to download Opera 9 Preview 1, which is still just a 4MB download (or 11MB if you're on a Mac).

Actually the new mail storage consists of creating a MBS file and Folder for each day of the year. 3 years of mail would result in over a 1,000 subfolders + a MBS file for each.
Something that worries me a great deal is the way Opera is constantly changing the storage system. A year later could you imagine sifting through 365 folders to importexport 365 separate files?
In time you'll see its a disaster waiting to happen.
