Three cheers for Andrew Flegg ! ! ! Thanks to him we finally have a decent email app.

About fonts: Do: Configuration > Common Preferences > Display > General. They seem to be settable there.

Problem: I've not been able to get the browser to launch properly on a URL in an email. The browser is settable under Configuration > Common Preferences > Details > External commands. Setting the Web browser entry to opera didn't work. I had some success getting the browser to launch using /usr/bin/browser, but it just opened my default home page, not the URL I tapped on.

It's great to be able to finally access the folders I have on the imap server I use. Thanks again Andrew.
