When you open All messages, you get
Received
outbox
sent
Drafts
Trash

A right click on the mouse will give you a menu with an export line. This  
export will result in a received.mbs,outbox.mbs,sen.mbs aso.
These files will be imported in a new installation of opera without any  
problem.

After logging in into WinXp, the Desktop is generated and after doing  
something, I don't know what, the keyboard will be ready to start. And  
then windows restarts/reboots and gives the job back to Grub.
