250 MB for me too. I use my gmail account though now. I wish that Opera supported Active X.
It seems that even google doesn't know that it doesn't need Active X, it actually needs XmlHttpRequest which I.E. resolves through Active X and since I have my browser, Opera, say it is I.E. gmail gets confused. The latest Opera 7.60 Beta Preview 3 seems to support gmail though!!
Your browser seems to be Internet Explorer, and ActiveX seems to be disabled. Gmail requires ActiveX to be enabled in order to operate.
To use Gmail, enable ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer. You can do this by going to the Tools menu, selecting Internet Options, Security tab, Internet zone, and either select the Default Level, or selecting Custom Level and scrolling down to "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" and selecting Enable.
