Re: [Feature request] passwd to protect opera mailer

I love M2, especially having RSS feeds come in just like mail.  This is not possible in any other mail program I am aware of, and in others and stand-alone feed readers, they are a nuisance.  I like the integration, but it wouldn't be bad for there to be a stand-alone M2 without the browser.  That would be useful for times when using a different browser in order to avoid having two browsers running at the same time.  I can't say that such a client is essential, because as it is, I am quite satisfied using Opera all in one.
