Any word on M3? (internal mail client)

jrsilvey

I'm curious as to why there isn't a native Vivaldi RSS feeder. Feeds in Opera Browser is hands down one of the best features in that browser. Whenever I have opened up Opera in the last year or so the feeds are actually the only thing I use the browser for.

Why do RSS and M3 need to be integrated together instead of being individual features? I would love for someone to educate me as to why that design choice is being made.

I've always envisioned RSS feeds integrated into Vivaldi's New Tab / Speed Dial page that would provide a magazine styled scroll of news from feeds you are subscribed too. Opera's version makes sense but I feel it misses the mark when it comes to overall design.

Yandex browser circa 2017 had an amazing news feed feature that was pulled out of the browser and turned into something called Zen. It learned your browsing and reading habits and offered you RSS feed suggestions based on that.

Yandex Zen is currently a hub of disinformation but the project has an excellent design and UI that could offer guidance for which direction Vivaldi should head as RSS feeds become integrated into the browser. I just downloaded NewsFlash (The descendant of FeedReader and a new Linux RSS aggregator) and I am using it to try and cut down on tabs and to help funnel news directly to me instead of making me go look for it.

RSS and email are completely different workflows for me so I am puzzled as to why they are being developed together. I trust Jon and the Vivaldi team though. I know he won't let M3 fail so I am sure whatever he has in mind is the best overall for the project.

@jrsilvey Mail and RSS are natural partners. They use the same sort of communication infrastructure. That's why, for instance, when you install Thunderbird, it wants to know if you want to create a news account or an email account, and whether you want it to be your default news reader.

I just hope that despite common code base, they will be accessible separately. For example having a Mail and a Feeds tab on the start page instead of putting them together.

@Nekomajin I don't know for sure.

@Nekomajin I second this.

I would really prefer to have access to Mail functions in my Panel and RSS functions on my Speed Dial/New Tab page.

I am still using windows XP & windows 7. I have a huge investment in CAD and other well written software that I am familiar with. Still using opera M2 for my mail since I have many contacts. By the time vivaldi gets M3 completed Windows 7 won't be supported either. Windows 10 is bloated and does not support legacy software, Why would I even want to switch ? When I was younger I thought that software would become faster to use, It has not !
I want speed & in my lifetime !!!!!!!!

If your setup works fine for you and there is no need to upgrade then you dont need M3, just keep using your computer for your current needs.

@saudiqbal Assuming they don't mind having a billion security holes in their system, of course.

Hopefully the next build comes with M3, its almost the end of 2020 and almost 5 years.

@saudiqbal
Everything works fine except opera 12.17. I need a secure browser that has built in email client. I have been patiently waiting 5 years, And I am not getting younger.

@Komposten XP Pro @ 1.5 gig vs Windows 10 @ 16 gig, Can you say a Trillion holes. Besides I do not put important information on my computers that can't be reloaded within minutes.

Last Christmas, you promised my mail. But the very next day you gave it away.
This year, to save me from tears. I'll give it to someone special [wir(R)]
