Introducing Vivaldi Mail in Technical Preview
-
@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.

@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):
-
@DavidJ My comments backstage to developers have no weight, to speak of. You need to file a feature request at https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/194/mail-client
-
@Gwen-Dragon Is there one for the 3.5 release? That's what I'm actually running: 3.5.2115.81 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
-
Just downloaded and having a first look - much to like here. Can't see how to add folders to an account, and having added one in the web version (it's a vivaldi.net account) it's not been reflected in the browser. I'm no IMAP expert - shouldn't I expect both of these things to work?
-
@Gwen-Dragon thanks, guessed that was it. I'd only add that it's not just the ability to create folders that's missing, it's the fact that new folders you create in the web version aren't then reflected in the browser version (unless they were already there at the time you registered the account in the browser).
-
great work, am loving this so far!
Someone else may have already mentioned it but there doesn't seem to be a way at present to add or remove imap folders from the vivaldi client, is this feature planned ?Edit: please excuse me!
This clearly has already been mentioned, so I'll just add my upvote for supporting this! -
@sonik You can subscribe to and unsubscribe from folders and toggle the display.
-
@luetage: thanks for the tip, i already know how to do that, I'm referring to actually creating and deleting the folders on the server.
I have created a FR on the forum here https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/54979/add-remove-imap-folders if anyone would like to upvote it -
@Gwen-Dragon thanks, I've now done that. restarting (2115) didn't help.
-
@aja actually - the folder just popped up. perhaps a restart was all that was needed, or perhaps it just takes a long time (many hours). I've withdrawn the bug report.

Random usability comments - don't get me wrong, I think this is a fine job:
- the hidden dropdown arrows next to "Filters" and "Flags" (for example) are a bit painful. you have to be moused over the item before you see the arrow, and then you have to go click on it. better just allow the item once highlighted to perform the expand/collapse action, or put the arrow to the left of the title (which would be consistent with the Account expanders).
- This is probably impossible, but it would be good if the mail interface could use keyboard shortcuts that are already used for other purposes out in the browser.
