Fully split Mail and Feed Reader
-
This will allow for independent enabling/disabling and different UI/customizations.
For example, right now I don't want to use the Email client so I disable it, but the Feeds are gone with it (even though you can still change stuff in settings).
PS: Yes, I know it's a massive change, I still want to suggest it
-
As a workaround you can create a separate profile for use with Mail. In the other profile you can right click links to open them with the main profile. This would allow independent UI customisations, and keep a separate profile folder.
-
I think NSANE wants only this
and not this
which he would get, when he makes a new mail profile
-
@derDay oh, I now understand the request better.
-
Oh, that's exactly what I did, but I feel it's not enough. The filters, flags, mailing lists, etc., those all need to go, and there's no way to do it yet.
Come chat about Vivaldi in the unofficial Discord Server, we have an :olli: emoji: https://discord.gg/cs6bTDU

@NSANE Well, you can hide with CSS if you don't need them&change the mail icon to rss feed.
But not very useful (yet) as you can't use feeds without mail.It seems you can but...
I think the "easiest" idea for this would be:
M3 functions:
- disable mail&feed (current)
- disable mail only
- mail panel become a feed panel;
- mail specific items will be hidden;
- enabled (current if on)

Woudn't a better solution be to just include a checkbox to separate the RSS feed into its own panel, similar to contacts and calendar? Right now feeds even have their own settings page, but are hidden as a subsection of the email panel, which seems wonky to me...

@Jon has already said that we can expect a separate feed reader page in the future, but let's make sure that we can vote on that.
I understand the concept of using the mail backed for the feeds as well, but I would like to have a separate page accesible from both the sidebar and the start page navbar. I'd like to get rid of the whole mail panel, because it's too crowded for my taste and have my feeds in a three column interface.
- Left column: The list of the sites I am subscribed to.
- Middle column: The list of the articles from the selected site.
- Right column: The selected article.
EDIT:
To clarify, the feed reader page should not contain any reference to the Mail functionalities, which are not necessary to subscribe/organize/read feeds. There is no need to override the default address bar either.
//MODEDIT: merged duplicated request

After spending the past few weeks with mail/feeds, I find myself in complete agreement with this. A separate feed panel would be MUCH more elegant/less cluttered/altoughter user friendlier.
If you get a good bit on e-mail and you have a busy RSS feed, it gets to be too much all at once (in
the same place). -
Currently I am only using YouTube Feed feature, so I welcome this FR.
-
We are working on a separate Feeds panel.

If it could be something like that i would be very happy.
-
Thank you for this!
Although...
There's still a 'feeds' menu option under the mail tab. Meaning there's now two.
But
I really appreciate the split, thank you again.

That's just for me who really couldn't care less about a separate feeds panel but wants to have his feeds integrated in mail. Isn't it great how everyone gets to use Vivaldi how they prefer it?
I bet that sooner or later they'll allow hiding certain elements in the mail panel, this was also possible in M2
-
The current mail preview now has a separate panel for RSS. I guess that starts to help keep things separate.
-
The association of feeds with mail is apparent in the current Vivaldi. For instance, the window title while looking at feeds reads "mail." Huh?
News feeds are not email. The two are distinct. Make them so.
-
Vivaldi offers a "Feeds" view, accessible from the panels, which will allow you to see individual RSS Feeds on their own, without the distraction of Mail. However, the Mail view by default includes Feeds as well. If you would prefer to keep them separate, this is easy to change: Just open the Mail view, and turn off "Show Feeds". This is toggled by clicking the "RSS" icon in the top bar:
-
Thanks for the reply, which did not make sense to me. "Open the mail view": how is that done? "RSS icon in the top bar": what top bar?
-
@garyo said in Dissociate feeds from mail:
"Open the mail view"
It means open the mail client.
what top bar?
The tool bar on top (or bottom…) of the mail client (the one that replaces the address bar when you're on a mail tab).

Very sorry if my instructions were unclear; I was a little rushed when I wrote them. Hopefully @hlehyaric has offered enough clarification for you
