Change Mailing Lists Name

November 27, 2003

One of the features missing from Opera7 is the ability to change the names given to mailing lists. This really ought to be possible via the Properties dialog, but it isn’t at least yet.

However, if you want, you can edit the index.ini file inside the mail directory (check opera:about to see where your Mail directory is located.

WARNING: Make sure Oprea is NOT running when you edit the file, and be sure to edit it with a text editor such as Notepad, not a word processing app such as Microsoft Word.

You will see an entry such as

[Index 37] Name=Using Opera

Well, you might prefer to have the word “Opera” come first. Just edit the entry like so:

[Index 37] Name=Opera - Users

Save the file, start Opera, and voila!

I think I heard that this is possible from the UI in the current 7.5 internal builds.
