I know you really want it to be security related, but it is not a security issue. You have not described anything that relates to security. Not in any way. It does not fit the classification of "security" by any relevant definition, no matter how much you might want it to be. You have been told this several times, and several knowledgeable members of security staff have tried to correct your misunderstandings. Repeating yourself in multiple forum threads and bug tracking systems does not alter that fact, and is likely to mean that your feedback gets ignored. Rather than repeating incorrect information, you would be better off engaging in productive discussions saying that you would like the behaviour of the mail client to be different, without mentioning security; those might actually get some positive attention.

As we have already mentioned, if you think the chrome.identity Extension API should work in a different way, you need to discuss that with the Chromium project, since it is implemented as part of that project. You might have a chance to persuade them to change it if you actually discuss it with them, but you will have no influence on them at all if you discuss it here.

@WildEnte
This is going to be a hard one to crack. It happens irregularly. As it just happened again at the same time that I'm copying out my Vivaldi (standalone) folder to backup, I'm starting to think that there might be some connection. [my previous post is from 29 days ago and that fits the monthly backup pattern]
Everything is working OK otherwise - all accounts connected - but a batch of emails going back nearly two weeks have reappeared in my Unread box even though they were definitely read previously.

@paaljoachim,

AFAICS  this is not a Vivaldi issue as the SMTP server is rejecting the recipient; not Vivaldi. To confirm this try sending to the rejected recipient from another email client.

To stop Vivaldi from trying to re-send the message delete it from All Messages > Outbox

@edwardp said in Why do Sent emails appear in my Inbox? This makes no sense.:

I am able to reproduce this using FairEmail on my Android.

E-mails are in the Drafts folders for two different accounts in the app.

In Vivaldi Mail, one account required a rerun of the filter, to display it. In the another account (with a different provider), simply opening the Drafts folder displayed the message.

If someone would like to submit a bug report, please post the number of the report (VB-xxxxxx) and I'll be happy to confirm it.

Once the e-mails are deleted out of the Drafts folders in the app, I reran the filters for the accounts and then folders in Vivaldi Mail. The e-mails were duplicated in the accounts' Trash folders and the original draft remained in the accounts' Drafts folders in Vivaldi Mail.

Re-running the filter for only the Drafts folders, did not remove the messages.

@Granite1
Ah sorry, the default is OAuth disabled so i have no idea why it switch to enabled for you.

@yojimbo274064400 Huh, thanks!

@mib2berlin said in High CPU usage when Vivaldi mail is running:

@mossman
Hi, did you remove the accounts and delete the mail database?

My post talks about one case where it's a completely different install and another where it's two different Windows users... absolutely no common user files at all!

@WildEnte VB-107658 has since been confirmed. Possible that VB-100402 is related.

@WildEnte , Thank you for your prompt reply. I seem to have found the tool I needed in the gmail user interface. There are three dots vertically aligned above the viewing pain that gives a menu for accessing the filtering tool. One of the filtering options is "never send it to spam". This seems to have fixed the problem. I just can't understand why all of a sudden these messages started showing up in spam. Must have been some recent changes made on the server side filtering.

@mib2berlin yes, it was the custom folders. I disabled that and all is good. Thanks!

I resumed from hibernation and knew a new mail had to be in one account (as one webpage got a reply). Despite also using "Check all accounts", Vivaldi still shows no new mail. Afterwards, I checked Opera and sure enough the mail is being shown there.

Here is the debug log. The first resolve error surely can be ignored as the system probably wasn't ready completely after waking up.

The log shows "2 EXISTS" and there actually are two mails in the inbox (one old, and the new one). After restarting Vivaldi, the new mail was shown instantly. Stupid me disabled IMAP logging before the restart, so there is no log for that...

no. I am using Fairemail. but I then noticed it had issues too (but weirdly after Vivaldi started to work). Anyway, now everything is ok.

yes, I was assuming it would work at least some of the time - the question was more about if it would reliably sent (at least as reliable as if the mail panel tab was open), but anyhow seems like the answer is yes
