You can still continue to log in, or upgrade to Opera 8.0

Yes, you are right that GMail is incompatible with Opera 7.54, but you can click the option to "Continue anyway" or similiar or upgrade to Opera 8.0. 8.0 has no such problems.

Hmmm... I think that when all other webmail services have no problem running on Opera 7.x, then GMail should also run on it. So the POV is like that. :)

I am using Opera 8.0 build 7561 (I presume the latest stable version), And I am able to use gmail on it.
But I am unable to use the richtext formats in compose on Opera -- That doesn't matter to me. I feel Opera is much convenient for me than Mozilla or IE...

So u ppl c, it's still not 100% compatible like d other major playas - even NetScape supports it :!:

Accessing Gmail & using Gmail r 2 totally diff. thing - u can access Gmail with Opera but the special features (like creating new filter/label etc. + invit) remains disabled.

That's why Gmail still didn't placed it 2 d official 100% compatible browsers list yet.
