@RyaminZ yes, is how mailto protocol works. It will open a composer window of the chosen system mail app.

If you use feeds/calendar also ignore the second screenshot 😉
(disabling mail might hide the send by mail command)

@7k777proton Select the message in the Outbox and delete it.

Please turn off caps lock before posting.

@mib2berlin

Thanks a lot for your reply. Would be great to get this fixed soon 🙂

I left the mails stored on my harddisk but it still took a while to add the account again. As long as I don't lose any emails, this doesn't matter.

@becm ty. Nice thoughts

@Zathras
I guess it is a mail server setting but my knowledge is limited.
The mail developers read the forum mail section, I hope one of them steps by here.
Most important: It work. 🙂

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin I quit snapshot and restarted it, re-opened the mail tab and it seemed fine. Overnight the whole thing crashed (can't see why, that just seems to happen sometimes).

Restarted this morning and seems to be working so far.

Hi again.

The host team says is a problem at my end. I am trying to clarify and the best idea so far is timeout due to inactivity.

It looks to me---and I am not expert---that the server is looking for the client and not finding it, so shutting down.

Then when the client tries to check, it is rejected.

What is actually happening and any ideas what can fix this??

Note that there were no email problems until a recent flurry of internet outages and upgrades to the connections by Comcast. I don't know if there were changes at the server.

I have put in dummy ip and rip.

April 8, 2024 using Thunderbird email app

Unfortunately, we cannot say how it is happening exactly, as the blockage is happening at your side (in your building or where the ISP IP 76.127.218.38 used).

The current login failures happened from 10:36:23 and the IP is blocked at 10:39:07 as 10 login failures reached within 3600 secs. The login failures happened to the same email account [email protected]. Please note that, we can only show you what server logs provides. Here is the log for the blockage.

I am including here two logs, the first with Vivaldi and the second with Thunderbird. Yes, it happens to both!!

@mib2berlin just tested using other ISP and it worked well. I am not sure that my ISP really blocks port 465 as I can use that port for other mail services and –ah, I remember– Yahoo! Mail ever worked as well, that's why I choose Vivaldi Mail.

I also have checked

telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.com 465

It connected correctly.

Well, it's not Vivaldi's problems. 😅

@mib2berlin Thank you dear!
Isn't your screenshot a mail tab view too?
What you call preview I just call mail tab. In the end it is the same, right?

(I don't want to bother you with definitions, it is only for other visitors to make clear of what we are talking. 😉 )

@heystormwolf Do note that the mail reputation is not the same as the forum reputation seen in your forum profile. As mentioned in the linked blog post, there's a few other ways of receiving mail reputation, so in theory you could also obtain the required reputation (albeit much more slowly, I presume) by using sync alone:

They’ll have to participate in Forum discussions, interact with others on Vivaldi Social, share their browser themes, post on their blog and/or sync their browser data to collect “points”.

@lavanyadeepak As a workaround you can try to disable mail logging which should hide the not blocking warning messages:

6a187056-0db9-475b-bdca-2dd43f66ea61-image.png

Fixes for this are present in latest snap, so it might land in a minor stable update or more likely in the next stable release.

@Th30philus Thanks for this clarification. My issue is not the same, because I am using the IMAP folder with Vivaldi mail.

What is similar is the failure of the back and forth talk between server and client. The server cuts the connection when the client doesn't talk for a while. And the client then tries to talk but doesn't recognize the new state and fails.

I'm sure the problem is deep in the weeds of the implementation of the protocol for client-server talk.

Anyhow, I'm switching back to Thunderbird. At least until I hear from Vivaldi.

@Murdoc With IMAP, the emails stay on your provider's server until you delete them.

Others have reported problems after copying/importing profiles. It's best to rename a current profile first (for example, to Default.orig) in order to test with a new profile, to see if the problem persists with the new.

Otherwise, best to delete the current profile, then let Vivaldi create a new profile on the next launch.

Is this a Vivaldi email account?

Is the un-deletable message a sent email; to determine this select the message and on right side of message view its stored location, as highlighted in example below:
2024-04-06.jpeg

Can the message be deleted from its stored location under the account's folder, as highlighted in example below:
2024-04-06-a.jpeg

Well, apparently it was Google specific because after checking for anything I might have missed and getting more errors, I restart the browser and new mail started coming in and I can now send.

ok ty for logic... i will write to they support then

@felagund The error message.

@KTAbeYuen apparently @Pesala can reproduce the issue, I cannot. Please file a bug report.
