@DoctorG It is very generous indeed. My gmail is 15 GB in comparison, and the 3 best free European mail services I found was 1 GB max.

Unfortunately the screenshot function highlights the selection so it looks normal either way. I checked my system theme settings and night light functions (Ubuntu 24.04) and they have no affect. At first I thought it was my custom folders, but oddly even in my "unread" messages, selecting one message vs another message (i.e. the next one) results in one going dim and the other getting bright. Also, I just noticed that if I close the "mail" folder tree menu with the "X" at the top, the problem goes away for the messages in that folder. I can click each message for that folder and they stay bright. As soon as I click the "mail" icon in the tool bar (on the left side) the screen dims. Oh, that's another clue, the entire screen dims.

@suyashbagade1 the point of the reputation system is not to prevent spam coming into Vivaldi Mail inboxes but to keep spammers from using Vivaldi accounts to send spam.

@Bfensty

@yojimbo274064400 i agree your viewpoint.. but still if anybody wants to recover their account after deletion.. theirs no way..

Ah.. so vivaldi forgets us in seconds after confirmation code😕

@mib2berlin
Yeah, I thought they were all the same. It seems that it started working again since I sent that, but for no discernable reason after being disconnected for at least 16 whole hours. Not ideal if I want to check my email at the beginning and end of the day. I guess I'll just see if it persists

@Elwood4415 This can be done but is a bit cumbersome. This should be accessible e.g. by right-clicking on the message. As it is now you have to double-click the message to open it in a tab and then, in the tab-bar, right click on that tab and do "Copy Link"

IDK,
AFAIK it will not.

BTW,
Anything on Snap will arrive to Stable at some point.

@far4

I'd be curious if it happens to you. I don't actually log into my vivaldi account. I just use it's sync capabilities to share by web browsing history and notes across my many devices. So if you sign in to vivaldi.net, this may not be a problem with you. But if you don't sign in, try going to gmail.com and see if it tries to re-direct you to vivaldi mail. It didn't use to, now it does.

@dyils I opened a fresh profile with native adblocker enabled, standard settings. I changed nothing else in the Vivaldi settings. I logged into my Google account and visited the link. I browsed around for a bit and don’t get the prompt to sign in with Google. I mean perhaps there is something set different in my Google account, but I couldn’t guess what that would be.

@MestreCarlosCardoso My Google and Facebook logins are maintained continuously and permanently. I do permit all cookies, and do not clean cookies. If you forbid 3rd party cookies or clean cookies on restart, you can get login prompts. But I never see one unless a machine is off for at least two weeks - then I get on when I fire it up but not after. This is on Win 11, Win 10, and Linux.

It's the one really annoying thing on Vivaldi on Windows. I get around it by minimising the window which asks for the Google login rather than closing it. It doesn't use much memory, it just sits there on the task bar uselessly, but at least it doesn't interfere any more.

@mossman said in Mail set-up is too restrictive (let us re-use existing mail addresses):

This needs to work better!

Why is there no mail export yet? The only reason I had to faff around pulling messages out of a backup file tree is because mail export is missing. The whole process would have been simple (and user friendly) if I could have selected all the received mail and exported that, then selected all the sent mail and exported that, deleted the account, then imported into the new one.

Not as simple as toggling a POP3/IMAP option in the settings, though... 😉

The useability of mail (and feeds!) still feels half-finished in lots of ways.

And it's worrying that everything went wrong when I moved mail in the UI. Clearly there were errors in the system, like in the case for @Durtro. I'm tempted to delete other accounts and import them again from backup (now I have a proven method for it) to make sure all messages on the filesystem are actually available in the mail database.

"biscuit", lol
Thank you @Hadden89 but didn't work.
I tried to add a mail account to see if that would make a difference, but I couldn't. It says "Attempting sign in" for a second and that's it.
