Introducing Vivaldi Mail in Technical Preview
-
Thanks for welcome, G-D.
Right now I'm feeling pretty dumb after being SO excited about the mail client.
I thought I did everything right about downloading a version of Vivaldi (with 'M3') from the bottom of the forum, but I cannot find any reference to actually using 'M3'.
I tried the snapshots, but the installer won't allow me to proceed because I have a newer version installed.I've obviously missed something and it's late at night, so a little help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

@OziIan3880 Enabling "mail" is behind the experimental wall.
Go to vivaldi://experiments/ to enable it.You will need to restart the browser after doing so.

YESSSSSSssssss ! Too easy!
No playing necessary. M2? M3? Bleh - all familiar stuff, actually.
Thanks to those who helped me get there.
Again - W E L L D O N E Vivaldi developers. It is appreciated.

OK - now for some extra help
Since forever I have used a program called 'Mailwasher Pro' [https://www.firetrust.com/products/mailwasher-pro] to pre-filter emails before downloading.
One of the better features of Mailwasher is that it allows one to automatically start an email client.
Now ... back in the GOOD OLD DAYS of Opera & M2 that was easy, as M2 was a stand-alone email client which could be called up in Mailwasher (ie Pathname/Operamail.exe)With Vivaldi Mail [let's make 'M3' official, OK?] I don't seem to be able to do that.
I tried to see if Vivaldi has any switch options (Pathname/Vivaldi /?) in the Run Command but no luck.
SO ...
At present I have M3 as my 'Start Page' but when I start Vivaldi from Mailwasher it goes to the default version with Speed Dial - which I went to great lengths to disable. Grrrrrr ...
I was hoping, then, some of you very clever Vivaldi people could let me know if there are any switch options when starting Vivaldi - like Pathname/Vivaldi.exe /Mail /Update - OR some other way I can start M3 from within Mailwasher.
Thanks in advance,
OziIanPS ... Maybe I should be posting in another forum?

@OziIan3880 Yeah, make a new topic. This is not a support topic.

How to sync Tasks with Google Tasks? It doesn't show my todo from Google Tasks

Very excited to see a successor to Opera M2!
This post says that labels are all synced, but what about the seen/unseen state? If I configure Vivaldi Mail on multiple computers and an email is marked as "seen" on one of them, will that state propagate to the others?
-
@daniel15 No, it will not. "read" can propagate, but at present "seen" cannot. In fact, many mail providers do not even have a "seen" status to register through IMAP.

Some IMAP servers support custom flags ("keywords") which could be used for this purpose. For example, Dovecot (which is one of the most popular IMAP server applications) supports them.

Does it support IMAP IDLE for real-time notification of new emails, rather than manually polling?
-
@daniel15 I don't know the exact mechanism, but it does seem to receive "push" email whether the polling interval has passed or not.

Thanks for the reply! Good to know
I'm currently waiting for it to fully sync/index my main inbox (~12 years worth of email, ~250,000 emails in total... I really need to clean it out one day) to see how well it performs with that account. I was about to hit the storage limit on my legacy free Google Apps account so I'm migrating to a different email provider (MXRoute) via
imapsync. -

I was going to say to turn on logging in the mail settings and check the log in the dev console to see if M3 and the server report that they support IDLE and that it's actually working. But, I'm not getting anything logged to the console. It used to work though when M3 first came out.

I just started using the mail and the calendar yesterday and I really like it so far. I think the mail is easier to use for me than the Thunderbird software.
-
well for what it's worth (and i understand ymmv), i really, really like it
sure; there will always be things that might be tweaked and improved, and i get it that for some people the paradigm change is a step too far - that's fine and that's the way the world works.
all that said; there's so much effort gone into this, that's clear, and i'm genuinely impressed by how well thought out it is already. kudos to jon and the team for an outstanding job.
-
I somehow broke the mailindex in one of my two accounts. Now M3 tells me, that currently I have 60605 unread mails of which I received 60439.
And in the list view I see more mails when using a filter than without filter.
Can I force a reindex? how? -

did you try to right click on the account you want to reindex? There are several options that maybe work...
