The technical preview of Vivaldi's built in mail client has been released as an experiment in the Snapshot version of the browser. To start using the mail client:
Make sure you have the latest Snapshot version of the browser. Consider installing it as a Standalone, if so far you've only used the Stable version of Vivaldi.
Go to vivaldi://experiments and enable Calendar, Mail & Feeds.
It's possible that the outgoing mail server on the sender side is misconfigured and not adhering to common standards we follow. But to be sure, please send a private message to us on https://help.vivaldi.com/services/webmail/troubleshooting-webmail-issues/, so we could find out the exact cause. Thanks 🙂
@holebuyer Yes.
However, in webmail-version of vivaldi.net you can at least import all your contacts from anywhere.
But unfortunately not getting from there to the inbuilt mail-client in the browser.
For all people having a lot of mail-traffic with a lot of contacts Vivaldi isn't useful yet.
In my case I imported my most important contacts manually into the browser.
Whenever I answer a mail from a new contact, it is added to the contacts automatically.
Hi. I'd like some help. When the STARTTLS protocol will be available on the Imap server.
There are always incoming mails on first startup, not afterwards.
Thanks.

English only in this forum, please.
You can receive emails for various mail services such as Gmail without any problems, but not all. When you press the send button, the mail creation screen just disappears and you don't see the sent email. I tried it on Windows and Mac, but both were useless. What kind of problem do you think this might be?
@ghpy understandable given the trouble you have to get it working in the first place. I also had setup problems when the client was released as experimental preview end of last year, when M2 import was not even an option
I have used Opera M2 and Vivaldi side by side since, and found myself not requiring to use Opera12 for anything other than IRC anymore after little time. So opera now mainly is a first line of defense backup
So if you are using Vivaldi anyway as your browser, I suggest you just keep having it download your email too and you'll see when it becomes convenient.
As an end to this story:
I did not manage to get Vivaldi to import the mails from my 3 M2-accounts and work correctly afterwards. There was always at least one account not retrieving new mail or not showing imported mail. So in the end I deleted little used accounts from Opera and only imported mail from the remaining M2-account, adding the other two accounts to Vivaldi later without importing.
@odebroqueville sounds like bug VB-80288 which says that a german Umlaut in an imap folder (Gelöscht = Deleted) is displayed incorrectly, there the problem appeared in the deletion confirmation dialog.
@panosbiazis not sure what you did, so here are two hints that others have posted in other threads:
"where is my panel" as @ghpy said above with visual illustration6EMQH0mdtM.gif
maybe you are one of the unfortunate users that are hit by a bug that is mentioned in this thread
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/62131/panel-is-broken/
@wildente said in Mail side panel:
@jlvbrowser takes some getting used to. In particular if you are used to using hierarchical folders. Everything revolves around not moving mails around or copying things, but instead to maintain a database of criteria (flags, labels, type, sender, ....) that you can quickly filter for. Get used to it, it's quite a productivity boost, because you will not need to ever move an email anywhere again, saving time with every single one you receive.
I agree to the getting used to.
Thanks again for your help.
@odebroqueville if that helps in any way, Vivaldi distinguishes between Unseen and Unread. Unseen emails are ones that you have never opened and are displayed as blue in the list. If you click on an unseen email, after a second or so (not instantly) Vivaldi will remove the Unseen flag and the message turns black in the list.
There is another thread about this feature wish with some more discussion if you are interested.

I have seen an issue where emails from a contact are not shown (not the same, in particular not the "previous contact's emails", although the amount of emails not shown seems to vary whenever I try to reproduce the problem
I have bugged "my" problem as VB-80289 ""Show from sender" does not show all messages from sender (I have added some screencasts showing the problem, it's really easy to reproduce for me)
@rocco set vivaldi://mail as your home page

I prefer to start up with the last session. I have the mail tab pinned, so it's always in the same spot. All a matter of preference I guess. Yey Vivaldi!
@karmanirvami in version 4.0 you activate the email client in Settings - general, all the way at the bottom under "productivity features"
This will add mail, rss and calendar to the panel. Note that email is only ever active in the first browser window you open.
