Opera Acquires Fastmail.fm

mattcsn writes "Opera Software just bought email service provider Fastmail.fm. Here's hoping that Opera uses a light touch and keeps the email service as unchanged as possible. From the article: 'FastMail has included a FAQ, in which it says that users who wish to not transfer their accounts over to Opera have to go into settings and indicate just that. Not acting upon the email the company sent out to its users or actively accepting the transfer will result in Opera assuming control over the mailbox and the account registration details. As to the reason for selling, FastMail says the market was getting increasingly competitive and that Opera's expertise in web browsers and especially the mobile market would help the company grow and take on the next big challenges in running and building an email service.'"

Do not transfer = Cancel

I suppose the poster didn't actually RTFA as you can either accept by clicking, accept by doing nothing or not accept by cancelling the account.

What if I don’t want Opera to take over my account?
Go to http://www.fastmail.fm/ login to your account, then go to the Options -> Cancel Account screen and enter your password to confirm you want to cancel your account.
