FWIW if there is no value for the inclusion of these icons to Vivaldi then I would suggest the lot be removed.

I feel like I'm a bit late to the party, but while I only have a few accounts under "All accounts", I'm surprised that this is still a thing we can't adjust.

The drag & drop works easily enough in the panel with the ctrl drag thing, so why can't that happen for the accounts?

@chunnel, try either of the following to see if signature is correctly rendered:

Option 1

enable Enable Rich Text and Images option copy rendered HTML signature from elsewhere paste into signature field
​
​

Option 2

disable Enable Rich Text and Images option type HTML code into signature text field enable Enable Rich Text and Images option

@Kamadeva69,

FWIW consider if either of the following is an acceptable temporary workarounds via:

Notes create a new Note containing list of email addresses when composing a message right click in address field and select Insert Note and then the note created in previous step Contacts create a new contact and enter all email addresses as highlighted below:
013ab58e-5177-4438-872c-57721c7b6a2e-image.png
NB be aware minor manual intervention is required when: composing mail via Contacts panel, press Ctrl+A to select all address in field and then Tab to (visually) correcty parse email addresses entering contact name into address field, edit to remove display name, for example as highlighted below:
09ba426c-472d-4085-b1e2-ff9e683a28bb-image.png

@victorxstc I'm not sure the Vivaldi folks want the client to be used for mass mailings....

@greybeard it's a year later and this is still no better, sadly.

I very much like the browser and the email is sharp and fast - a great start.

But "rules" are an absolute necessity, and these are not done well. It's unwieldy to get to them and every new addition to the rules needs to be done entirely from scratch.

I get newsletters from a huge variety of parties, from suppliers to community groups, to spam, to brands I kinda want to hear from, to just random crap. I want to be able to process these things fast, not be forced to either choose a process requiring minutes per new addition and many mouse clicks, or tolerating increasing levels of spam and an increasingly cluttered and useless inbox just to avoid the hassle of creating the rules.

I really dislike the total lack of improvement in functionality offered by Microsoft in Outlook over many, many years. I fervently hope that Vivaldi is smart and fixes these. Rules are a perfect case in point for this:

It should be trivial to add to an existing rule. Rules consist of a filter and an action - take the example of a "supplier newsletters" rule. This identifies a domain as that of a supplier, and the action is to move the message to the "Supplier Newsletters" folder. I should be able to add email addresses and domains to the filter, so any matching domain or address gets appropriately moved. But in Outlook, you can't. You have to have dozens of almost identical rules. It's tedious and annoying to have to repeat this process over and over and over.

Their spam filtering is incredibly poor. There basically isn't any.
Junk:
-> Block sender
-> Never Block Sender
-> Never block sender's domain
-> Never block this Group or Mailing List

There's only 1 of the 4 options which is to actually block the sender. And it's a painstaking process when you have to repeatedly use the mouse, no keyboard shortcut for it. I can't block the domain, but I can "never block the domain" - bizarre.

Vivaldi gives me a couple of useful options: mark as junk is good, but it makes no sense not to default this to marking the sender as a spammer and consigning their other messages to the spambin. I can't seem to create rules to tag senders or domains, which would be very useful.

The focus of Vivaldi filtering seems to be suffering from the same "melting pot" paradigm of Gmail, which has been pursued to the level of a defiant and juvenile fixation in Gmail: you can't even sort messages in Gmail. Everything sits in the one big repository, and it's up to you as the user to curate a view.

I get the feeling Vivaldi doesn't want to shuffle your messages around or formally sort them into folders. It wants to be a database, so if you want to see all the red ones, the big ones, the left-handed ones, you create the right filter and click on it when you want to and there they are.

But what I generally want is my stuff chucked into bins that are useful to me. I have serious business in my email from suppliers, clients and the government, I have newsletters and marketing and reporting and all sorts of stuff coming in, personal stuff from community groups and teams I coach, and I want to be able to tag senders, domains, keywords or whatever else and have this otherwise very smart program handle my stuff.

There are a couple RSS feeds I follow that submit their entire new post to their feed, and so I end up hitting the middle-button and scrolling the post right to the very bottom of their posts, just to hit the "Open Article" button. I've been really wanting to see that button moved to the post header, so it would be immediately available and in a consistent location.

Thank you! At least I'll be able to get rid of the badges next to the Unread folder, but it would still be nice to be able to hide it.

With that another question popped into my head, because it seems that the Received folder is not my inbox. Where is my inbox?

The idea behind the later folder is not to be notified of anything that does not require immediate action, such as newsletters.

Emails that are important to me will make it to my inbox, and I don't mind getting a notification about them, e.g. badge counts.

The tools already exist to filter messages in many different ways: Labels, flags, read status, spam, etc.

I do most of this directly with my email provider, so I am not dependent on any email client.

@S_Paternotte
Looked at the first point there. Put something in review. Let's see whether it's accepted

@edwardp It doesn't work with me.

Just now I sent a test message to myself: the text is sent formatted (with font information: 'fixed width'). The whole point should be that the message is sent plain, without any indication about formatting.

@ryof your can right click the mail panel icon and choose to make it non floating (what you call overlay). In the Mail settings you can also choose to have the mail panel automatic open when the mail tab is active.

I have my mail panel pinned. Whenever I click it, the mail panel opens (if it is not open to start with). When I click another tab, the mail panel reverts to its previous state (open or closes, whatever it was before clicking the mail tab).

@fatimatavery94 said in Needed features for Notes/Tasks/Reminders:

I know it's frustrating when the tools we need don't quite deliver.

I've been exploring online notes recently, and one feature that caught my eye is the ability to set notes to vanish after reading, which helps keep things private.
Regarding your needs, it sounds like having a seamless sync between desktop and mobile, along with robust task and reminder capabilities, is crucial. It's tough when apps like Vivaldi fall short on mobile functionality. Hopefully, developers catch onto these needs soon. In the meantime, experimenting with different tools might uncover a solution that fits your workflow.

With 6.8 we now have preview text, but no thumbnail yet.

@yojimbo274064400 thank you for bringing up their page. I've definitely been over that page and have selected the StartTLS option (interestingly, I can't select StartTLS for IMAP but that's off topic here).

When I have logging enabled in Vivaldi this is what I see when it attempts to send mail: "[outbox] Failed to send: AUTH mechanism PLAIN not available." (I attempted to include a screenshot inline and via link and the automated spam filter wouldn't let me post).

It looks like this is affecting other mail clients as well. I will be bringing it up to SDF as well especially based on @Hadden89's reply.

@Holly,

If following are acceptable compromises:

viewing account's unread messages under Filters exclusion of messages blind carbon copy (bcc) to email accounts

then consider trying the following:

select All Message > Unread

in Mail search field enter following:

to:<email-address> OR cc:<email-address>

where <email-address> is replaced with the email address for which unread message are to filtered

select ⋯ and then Save as Filter, as highlighted in following image:
2024-06-16-a.jpeg

repeat above steps for any additional accounts

confirm expected results under Filters for created filter

In:

Horizontal or Vertical Wide layout Subject column is always shown with following being optional:
2024-06-09-a.jpeg

Vertical shows a pop-up message when pointer hovers over message showing its subject, from header's Display Name or Email Address, if former does not exist, along with sent date and time.

A column option to show the message's From: header value: would solve the former and for the latter not making a distinction between the value parts, i.e. show the Display Name and Email Address.

FWIW noticed that the message list panel shows the Display Name of From: header value but in the message pane it show the Contact entry name. When displaying Sender column it should be consistent and display the Contact entry name.
