Pocket-lint has a rumour up that Facebook is interested in acquiring Opera to kickstart their own move into the browser market, to compete with Mozilla, Google, and Microsoft. While it would mean much-deserved recognition for Opera, I actually hope such a deal does not go through - for entirely selfish reasons.

PresentIt asked...
You are looking for a new IMAP provider based on mere rumors? Shouldn't you at least wait until the rumor is confirmed before you resort to knee-jerk reactions?
Not really. The time to start looking at alternatives is before you need them so you know where to jump when the time comes. Note that he didn't say he was leaving right away, just that he was going to start looking around to see who else could offer him the needed services should Opera (and fastmail) end up going to an untrustworthy or privacy hostile corporation.
Or at least that's what makes sense to me.
