Introducing Vivaldi Mail in Technical Preview
-
@deinonychuscowboy , as a note, there is some significant value in keeping mails in place. You can enter a view and reduce what is shown in the view, using the toggle buttons, before searching. The point is to make it really easy to find mails that you may not have looked at in years. I can tell you that for me with my 600k mails, it is very useful.

We are Vivaldi after all and we listen to our users.
So true!

@jon, indeed a good mail client needs a powerful search to dig into years/decades of mail. For that it is essential that the search can also search in ONLINE imap folders, without downloading them. (essential for people that use ssd-drives with limited storage, like laptops, tablets, phones).
That will also make vivaldi faster and leaner. Because now, I have downloaded 5 gmail accounts, and vivaldi just gets stuck. It freezes at startup and i cannot even use the browser anymore. Is this a known bug?
-
@peefy , what you are seeing requires more information. Please report a bug. I have 600k mails and things work fine for me, but it would be interesting to know what is happening in your case. It is known that things can be a bit heavy while indexing mail initially. Have you tried to wait a bit during startup to see if Vivaldi unfreezes? There is a point during startup, with a lot of mail, where it can freeze for a little while. That is something we are working on.
-
Any timeframe for release of new mail client,, etc.?
-
@PC64 , the first step was the Technical Preview. You can start playing with that. We are then working on import, better filtering, speed, stability and a lot of other details. We will launch a formal release WIR. We will continue to include improvements in the snapshots.

@jon Thanks for the reply.

Hi!
How does one add an identity to a mail server?
Thanks.
D. -
@DavidJ Unless the mail provider who owns the server offers the option to do this, one does not.
-
-
@ayespy: At least one of the ESPs I use allows me to send mail from alternative identities, but not to log into the server using alternative identities. I can do this with both Thunderbird and Pegasus mail.
Since I don't see separate fields for the login address and the sending address on Vivaldi, do I understand correctly that I can't do this? (I'm not talking about small, obscure ESPs; I'm talking about Runbox, Fastmail, and Zoho.) If I understand correctly, the problem is indeed the lack (in Vivaldi) of separate fields for the signin address and the sender address.Thanks.
D. -
@DavidJ I have separate fields here, but I am not sure they can be filled in separately.
-
@ayespy: I'm not sure what you mean. I see a field in the window with the server settings which I can change, and a field in the sending window which it seems that I can't change; it shows what I have filled in in the server window. Is that what you see?
If it is, then it appears that I can only send mail from the single address which I can use also for sign-in to the IMAP and SMTP servers, and not a few separate sending identities, as I can with Thunderbird and Pegasus. Is that correct?
Thanks.
D. -
@DavidJ Like I said, I don't believe they can be filled in separately. There are separate fields, but I think whatever you put in the receive field is forced in the send field.
-
Yup. I think we're saying the same thing. So please inform whoever considers these things that some of us would like a new feature:
(Several) sending identities independent of the login identity. (Thunderbird and Pegasus mail already have this, and several ESPs are equipped for it.)
Thanks.

Can I somehow force Vivaldi to put my "Mail" tab in the Window I want it in? I run with 3 windows, personal, work and multimedia.. after setting up Mail I restarted my browser, and now its in a different window. If I use the "move tab" functionality, it ends up in a different window but just with the text "is open in another window", works again if I move it back
Pinned tabs did this too btw, I pinned one on one window, and after a restart its in a different one..
I'm also getting a lot of "error during threading" status updates while importing (which is why I restarted, to see if that helped) - the terminal window has a lot of "RangeError: Maximum call stack exceeded" and "Uncaught (in promise) undefined" errors
-
@Gwen-Dragon In the "wrong" window, vivaldi://mail just shows this:
I'm importing/loading all the email on my local imap server (having eventually given it an "external" hostname so that I could talk to it over ssl)
-
@Gwen-Dragon Almost 100k messages from my local server - vivaldi seems to have stopped importing now, and is showing 7k messages in the inbox (hmm, and nothing that arrived in the last 10mins or so since it stopped importing) - any ideas?
-
@Gwen-Dragon "Prefetch full messages" is not checked. I'll have a go with the snapshot..

love these little touches (notifications count):
