Can not send email with opera mail and windows 8.1

Frustrating!

I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Let's go through some steps to resolve the problem:

1. Check Opera Mail settings:

• Ensure that your email account settings are correct in Opera Mail. Go to Settings (icon looks like a gear) > Accounts > Edit next to your email account. Verify that your email address, password, and server settings are correct.

2. Check email account credentials:

• Make sure your email account credentials are correct. Try logging into your email account using a web browser to ensure you can access your account without issues.

3. Check Opera Mail version:

• Ensure you're running the latest version of Opera Mail. You can check for updates by going to Settings > Help > Check for updates.

4. Disable any third-party extensions:

• Sometimes, third-party extensions can interfere with email functionality. Try disabling all extensions and then re-enabling them one by one to identify if any specific extension is causing the issue.

5. Check Windows 8.1 firewall settings:

• Ensure that the Windows 8.1 firewall is not blocking Opera Mail. You can check the firewall settings by going to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall. Make sure Opera Mail is allowed to communicate through the firewall.

6. Check for conflicts with other email clients:

• If you're using multiple email clients, try closing them or uninstalling them to see if they're interfering with Opera Mail.

7. Reset Opera Mail settings:

• Try resetting Opera Mail settings to their default values. Go to Settings > Advanced > Reset settings.

8. Reinstall Opera Mail:

• If none of the above steps work, try reinstalling Opera Mail. You can download the latest version from the Opera website.
