I agree that labels/tags are flexible, allow orthogonal organization, etc. but right now I have a simple inbox with different newsletter and it's very clear where they come from so I only need a 1-dimensional sorting.

And in fact I do love Vivaldi Desktop Mail's Mailing Lists view (no need to do anything, works out of the box, can even rename for more readable name), Filter view (good to fuse multiple sender email addresses into one view as some websites have support@, forum@, etc.)

It's just that I sometimes check my emails with Thunderbird (and on Android I have no choice as I see no Vivaldi Mail app, and I don't want to install too many apps so I'm sticking to FairEmail for now).

Thunderbird supports folders and labels as "tags", but I'd use those with the standard values "Important", "Work", "Personal"... I'm already creating new labels on Gmail for each type of mailing list and it's cumbersome, I wouldn't do it again.

So being able to convert Filter views to folders would allow an extra degree of compatibility with email clients that don't support Filters yet (it seems quite new so it may take some time to be added).

That said my Vivaldi email doesn't have critical emails at the moment and therefore I don't need to check it on mobile, and I'm happy to just use Vivaldi Mail on desktop for now. Coming from a programming background I also appreciate the concept of read-only filter views (like views in Python and more recently C++), and I'm eager to see them land in other email clients.

In the meantime I understand that Vivaldi Technologies prefers bringing new features breaking compatibility to get more adoption, but then they'll have to think about releasing a lightweight Vivaldi mail app on mobile (not having to install yet another fully-fledged browser just for that).

Apparently I can use Vivaldi Mail as a generic email client too, so I may try it with Gmail and see if it can sort all my newsletters per sender.

I solved the issue with some steps.
First I noticed that the message existed on the stable vivaldi client but not on the snapshot one.
I then went to the thread view of that message and there two messages were shown, one trashed (local copy only) and the other not trashed.
I restored the trashed one and then I was able to trash both and then delete them permanently.

@romdev I know this is many months old, but thank you for leaving the solution, because I was having the same problem, so this was of great help.
I guess it's a 2FA thing? People that doesn't have 2FA set up can just use their normal passwords, but those of us that do has to generate an app password.

YESSSSSS!!!!!

Thanks for the save! 🙏

@JessieSorensen I doubt it will work, being an office 365 / azure AD mail account, but here is explained how to get such link.

If it is a work account, as I think, likely you are forced to use outlook and its webclient.

@CZWGH said in mail filter not work:

I made 5 filter, totally not work.

And what should the filters in Roundcube Vivaldi Webmail do?

@Pesala OHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH

Er.... just another import experience:
My own labels (beyond the standard ones "important", " to Do" etc.) are not part of the import. E.g. mails related to individual customers are assigned a label. I had to define the labels again and then set apply rule on all mails (instead of only newly incoming mails).
But this (rule) method would not re-assign a label (a "tag") to mails that had (in Opera) been manually assigned a customer related label, e.g. because every rule can hardly assign each mail appropriate labels that does not miss out anything. E.g. a mail from a third party where the customer is not mentioned in the text and also not in the header fields, but is nevertheless customer-related.

@mib2berlin Alternatively - giving out your phone number or a back-up email could be an option. It is ok to have more than one level of service here. Just a thought?

Hey @DoctorG

This is for the offline version of Vivaldi mail.
Where I have a lot of email accounts.
I do not see where I can check contacts....

I did some more searching
AHA! I clicked the Vivaldi icon in the sidepanel area and searched for Contact Vivaldi mail. I was told of the Contacts Panel.
4th icon below the mail icon in default left side panel view (where I have the panels).
Or Menu area in the top: View -> Panels -> Contacts Panel
I searched for the client name and deleted the old and none working email address.

Thanks. Hopefully someone else can also get something out of this post. As I initially searched but did not come across something that fit.

Thanks for the reply!

@radio303
How are you re-indexing the datebase? Wonder if something has gone wrong there.

@javierldb said in V Mail Error | Unexpected Char at Position:
I just have had a look in this thread and read this text.

I'm willing to collect and send any information required to help solve the issue.

So do I!
E.g. by means of -vvv type of events logging.

I think Vivaldi Mail is awesome.

I'm linux user, and Mail is still handled in Opera 12.16 (on notebook & desktop). Meanwhile it's getting harder to keep Opera 12.16 running in an Ubuntu-flavor machine - due to dependency issues.

Opera Mail is quite unique and yes, awesome. Correspondingly I was very happy when Opera's Mail concept was introduced from Vivaldi 3 on.

The tag based concept (instead of old fashioned folders) is very practical; full text search (in Opera) over all mails incredible quick (approx. 9 GiB, while only a dual core AMD 2.5 GHz); the mail database is rock solid. Upon crash of the system during mail text writing: no problem - most of the mail text "in edit" is not lost after restart from "backup".

Good stuff! Thanks everyone.

This is absolutely the only reason I am still using Thunderbird, I have to have some way to easily archive old email to local storage, I have 8 email accounts all getting 100s of email per day and simply leaving years of old mail on the server is not an option from both a cost (Server space costs money) and secure backup perspective (I need to keep old emails for backup and it is much easier to do that from my local PC to my NAS then rely on my hosts crappy backups options), also local email searching is much faster.

@gmg yes. I can confirm that. For me it got fixed with build 3620.3

@gmg Tx!

Oh, i can reproduce it with 7.2 Snapshot.
I marked all mails as read but Mailing Lists → Other shows 1|3 as count.

//EDIT:
I could "fix" it with this strange action:
Select the Mailing Lists → Other
In mail list select "View Filters"
Activate all check boxes
Click "Reset"

Now wrong counter is gone.

@Society
Hi, if you copy over the default profile folder you may have to delete the mail database.
Make a backup, I tested this only with IMAP accounts.
Delete the folder:
\Default\Storage\ext\ mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli
At next start Vivaldi create a new database and read all mails from the folder \Mail.
Then rerun the the search database rebuild from the mail icon in the status bar.

@GillM
It should be possible to copy over the folder \Mail in you profile.
Path is shown in Help > About.
To the new system, then add your mail account, delete the database.

@nicktsak From which mail domain you can not receive mails?
Which Windows and Vivaldi version (see Help → About)?

@Durtro said in Moving Labels:

@janrif probably this I would guess: (VB-114452) Labels not appearing on panel or menus

Have the same problem on a "fresh" snapshot installation. The labels are still visible on the messages so they are there. They're only missing from the UI.

@Durtro @gmg Thanks for your reply; at least I know that I'm not alone. I hope others start to follow this thread to confirm what we experienced, to offer a fix or to report it as a bug. Let's see what happens.
