Opera does not support these features of Gmail.

Yeah its pretty disgusting that such an advanced browser doesnt support these features . Anyway a it will be patched up by them soon.

Gmail onl supports basic heml interface in Opera. I use opera's email client to access my mails, so i dont use the web interface often.

@gsrajawat dont give your email id in a public forum like this one

Gmail works fine for me in Opera. At the top of gmail page, there is a button to switch to standard view. Just click it. I am using Opera9 TP3 provided in March issue of digit.

I guess Gmail is blocking Opera untill they release a beta version.
