Does "auto-forward" work in Vivaldi webmail?
If it works, how I set up?

A Former User

Thunk you for your advice, but I cannot log in the site https://webmail.vivaldi.net/#settings/accounts/forward.
I tried to log in, but the message "Product license is invalid." appeared and I could not log in.
I can log in only the site https://mail.vivaldi.net/webmail/, but I don't know how I can set up "auto-forward".

After like a year, this important feature is still missing.

Is this project still alive ?

I'd love to use this service, but not having the auto-forward function is quite a problem.

@viorel Vivaldi WebMail is still a active free service offered to users. It is not a project. The main focus of development is on the browser itself rather than on webmail, given that the webmail is just there as a convenience for users of the browser, and is a pure expense to the company. The browser on the other hand derives some income, and has the potential to derive more, and is at the moment the actual reason for the existence of the company. If enough users adopt Vivaldi the browser, the company can become self-supporting, rather than existing at the expense of the founder. So WebMail will be attended to, but will not be a highest-order priority.

@viorel sieve rules would allow this but are not or inconsistently applied at the moment.

@ayespy the communication about mail and its priority is still not optimal.
With a non-determined (changing) feature set there should be a warning to not use this account as important infrastructure.

@viorel mail filter rules are a work in progress on the new infrastructure.

Forwarding should work now in mail.vivaldi.net as well, if you create a new filter in Settings > Filters.
Please test and let us know if you have any issues.

@jane-n ~~mail content got lost~~
Sorry, false alarm skrew-up on my side (bad settings in my new Vivaldi 1.15 config).
Seems to work as intended, thanks

@becm How did you manage to get it to forward a certain message or all messages to another mailbox?

@jane.n I would be most interested in how to use this feature to forward emails from certain domains or with specific subjects to another emaiil address.

@vadderung Automatic email forwarding and redirecting has unfortunately been disabled, because there were too many users, who used the feature for malicious reasons.

Unfortunately Vivaldi email service is not the way to go. Very little energy has been put into it. There are other services that are much better. However they do have the best browser I have ever used.
