Wow, I’m behind the times rather quickly…about a week and a half ago, Opera released a new beta version of its upcoming 8.0 browser, which among other things provided their temporary solution to the aforementioned IDN problem. Since then they’ve added IMAP support to some of the recent preview releases. Very cool stuff, if they’d just get rid of the popup alert that notifies you a popup window was just blocked…have no idea why that’s there, even Microsoft figured that one out eventually….

You can always find the latest beta/preview release builds of Opera on their site.
