Error Console appears inadvertently

If a dialog box labeled "Error Console" appears while using Opera, the reason is most likely that Opera is reporting an error in one or more e-mail accounts set up in Opera's built-in e-mail client.

To prevent the console from opening automatically, look for mail related errors in the console dialog, and go to Tools > Mail and chat accounts to correct any errors in your mail accounts.

If you have any inactive mail accounts, you can set Opera to not check for new mail automatically:

  1. Go to Tools > Mail and chat accounts to access the "Manage accounts" dialog
  2. Select a mail account and click the "Edit" button
  3. Select the "Incoming" tab in the account properties dialog
  4. Disable the setting called "Check for new messages every # minutes"

It is also possible that the error console has been set to show on Web site errors. To prevent this from happening, follow these steps:

  1. Click link to go to opera:config#Error Console Filter.
  2. Click the "Default" button.
  3. Click the "Save" button below.
