As StarOffice changed and lost its mail component, when, I think, it
became SunfOffice, after having been taken over by Sun, Opera changed,
and I abandoned Opera as the most secure web browser, and, abandoned
operamail, both, when Opera was sold by its Norwegian founders, to the
Chinese (government?).

It is a bit like when Skype was sold by its founders, to Microsoft,
abandoning its support for Linux, and, abandoning its support for
Skype users.
