@DoctorG I tried and didn't work, at least I got it running with the APP in google.

@schreck
Hi, these settings doesn´t matter for mail.
I am sorry, running Gmail account on different systems with Linux and Windows 11 and got never this or other problems.
I have no idea why it not work for you. 😕

Cheers, mib

Vivaldi isn't for business use...

It is, and has always been, for my business. If "business" refers to those enterprises who look to conglomerate standards to ensure uniformity within their drone work force, you're probably right. Vivaldi will never reach that level of "sophistication." It will, however, continue to mature and offer an ever-widening sphere of capabilities and adjustments. But if you're looking to make it the "standard" web interface for Fort Motor Co., you should probably look elsewhere. That said, we already have users with multiple employees who rely on it in their businesses.

I tried with Thunderbird and it worked fine for my [email protected] with the settings

imap.aol.com 993 SSL
smtp.aol.com 465 SSL

(as listed in AOL article here https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-use-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-aol-mail)

whereas Vivaldi faces this issue

3132021f-f866-42fa-8877-37210f6219fe-image.png

Vivaldi reported the transmission had failed, something about 6 bits, then the report disappeared when I went to check on Sent status. The message is not in my sent, trash, or junk folders, imap & smtp were connected. Sending a retyped copy of the message worked.

@IndyDax See Settings, Mail, Servers, and this topic on Mailbox Settings

Just to follow-up on some tests in https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/78077/importing-labels-from-opera-m2-portable and pointing towards a wishlist:

If, in the future Vivaldi Mail can import OperaMail or Opera M2 labels or only filters that define those labels (even without hierarchy - only to have their list and definition), it would be very welcome. Otherwise, it seems that filters have to be just redefined in M3 manually and if you have 50 conditions for one filter, it is tedious. If there is any low level way to import labels it would be welcome too - f.ex. just using index.ini file in opera to convert it to filters definition in M3 even with a script ouside Vivaldi. Btw, where are the filters stored in M3 and in which format? Regarding request for hierarchical labels/filters. Actually, filters and labels (linked to filters) are rather parallel as concept and the only minor reason to use labels is that their tags appear on messages. But, otherwise, one can live with filters only. So, one can conclude that for the moment if hierarchy would be available for filters only, it would be sufficient and very welcome. So, if it's possible to create a request for hierarchy of filters, please, let me know where this can be done. If hierarchical filters would be a feature, it would be great to have some functionalities to organize filters- sort of filter manager (reorder, group, organize in hierarchy, change icon, search by filtering criterion, save messages belonging to filter, re-so search for whole group, etc.). There is some potential there A more advance filter management would be the ability to export/import filters individually or by group to migrate filters similar to "save filter configuration to a file".

jumpsq, thank you. Haha, I just dicovered that myself, and was about to delete my question. The email account has to be active to use the settings. 🙂

@mib2berlin
Thanks for the reply.
I have my own mail server, but it's also an issue with my vivaldi.net address.
The client also won't load the feeds I have listed - The actual mail client itself doesn't load for some reason, but I don't know where to look to repair it.

Thanks for the feedback - if I get one account working and then others don't, at least I know it's not a Vivaldi issue then.

Cheers,

Pix

I can confirm this problem still occurs. Viivaldi version: 5.4.2753.28 (Stable channel) (64 bits)

@WildEnte said in Spam folder:

In case you are using the Vivaldi mail client in combo with the Vivaldi Webmail service, in this discussion there are some infos on how to set up server side filtering (@janrif this may also be of interest to you) https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/77941/spam-mail/4?_=1660074281952

Thanks for this!

Thanks again! I had an old, in the meantime superfluous message in the outbox. I deleted it and now everything is fine.

@Pesala OMG Thank you so much. I might actually use it now :).

@crabladyanne Sorry, not at all.

For the time being, leave your gmail account the way it is, except activate "Download Messages for Offline viewing and searching" Do not yet select "Take account Offline."
Leave Vivaldi and the mail client OPEN and running for several days until you have verified, by spot-checking if nothing else, That the body/contents of every single one of your emails has been downloaded to your current copy of Vivaldi (in the alternative, you could do all of this with a new, standalone installation of Vivaldi that you do not intend to use for browsing all the time.)

After you are SURE all of your emails are fully downloaded - not just the list of mails but the contents of each individual mail as well, THEN you can take the account off line and remove the server settings so that it will not accidentally hook up to the server. This is now your archived copy of all your mails to date. You can reference it off line at any time.

Once that is done, use a different instance of Vivaldi with a fully functioning email client. This will allow you to keep up with your current mail flow. In that instance of Vivaldi, or using the web interface of GMail, you can now delete emails that you do not have a current need to interact with, keeping only those which you feel you may need to refer to on a daily basis, reply to, forward to others, etc.

Your disconnected version of Vivaldi is your archive. Your connected version is your working platform.

At least, if I were in your position and just wanted to archive years of mail and still make more room in my gmail account without having to buy storage space, that's what I would do.

I submitted a formal bug report, and they emailed me back that it's highly, highly improbable I'll get infected by anything just clicking on the message to spam mark it or delete it. Browsing and email are both sandboxed, so even though my anti-virus flags it, it's not actually getting to my computer.

I feel better about things now.

Thank you @mottenmouse . This #workaround helped in my case too.
