A new Webmail interface is ready for testing!
-
@litehorse3 and Telegram:
Thanks for supporting the question/concern regarding spam potential (I was wondering if I might need to start a new thread, but hopefully we'll get a reply here.)
I remember the developers said last summer that they will discuss the possibility to change the nicknames for the forum, at least how they should be displayed. That would be one way to protect the email adresses.
Yes, it would. …But I don't want to change my forum ID. I would rather choose a mail ID different from the forum ID if they are both logged in simultaneously when I log in to the forum.
I guess I could create a separate forum ID and use it only for mail so one login never affects the other, but the developers seem to have envisioned something where the two could be integrated under one username. And alias support is nice/preferable (and possibly already supported?), but it doesn't seem like it would prevent spam unless I could add another alias and remove or block the gdveggie "alias" in email.
At least you will not appear online when you are only logged in webmail. Which i find good.
I haven't had a chance to test this yet, so just to be sure I understand, are you saying that is already true? …is already planned? ...tested and verified?

OK, thanks for clarifying!

I meant, when you create an separate account on Vivaldi.net, which you only use for Vivaldi Mail and enter through separate mail login website, you will be not listed as an online user on Vivaldi.net ( even without customized settings )
But you can be found by the search. But that's what the settings are for. Its possible to make the account completely invisiblegdveggie, there is only the problem with the "Recently Registered Users List". I forgot about that
Here the admins should give a possibility to adjust the settings during the registration process.The general settings in the profile also have no effect on the appearing in this list :dry:
I'm not sure if I know what list you mean by "Recently Registered Users List". I looked around and found this list of All Users, which can be sorted by recent registration (default), recent login, or alphabetical. And I think your point is that for the most part the Vivaldi Community settings allow a user to be mostly invisible to other users and, for example, screen scrapers that might harvest user names, but unless an Vivaldi Community "invisibility" option is provided during registration process, a new email user with a username used only for email will, at a minimum, appear on that list (and potentially be subject to a screen-scraping email address harvester). Is that what you mean?
Edit: After looking around some more, I also found this list of Registered Users, which is more likely what you meant. (Although both lists are nearly identical if the All Users list is sorted by recent registration (default ), and both currently list 41,777 registered users).
If you click on the View Profile button at the top of the Registered Users list it forwards to a page with a list of one's own recent activity apparently intermingled with activity from other "random" members, and with random unidentified member avatars in the left margin. But I guess that content would only be populated by users active in the forum/blogs, and not by a username only logged into and used for email.
So I guess you mean that both the All Users and the Registered Users may be vulnerable to screen-scaping for email names, unless users are informed and allowed to opt out or hide their usernames from those lists during the registration process. If I have minunderstood you, please let me know.

OK, thanks for clarifying!
I would really be interested to hear one or more of the mail developer's perspectives on whether and how users can have a Vivaldi Community/Forum username linked to a Vivaldi email address without being subject to spammers simply harvesting Forum usernames and appending "@vivaldi.net".

Please don't force HTML mails.

A thread at EMD on Vivaldi's new webmail included the following comment:Why don't they use multiple MX DNS server entries? That's an industry standard, since a single MX entry gives a single point of failure.
Will Vivaldi be addressing this issue at some point?

Since my inbox is still intact in the new interface I'm wondering if it should also have my contacts I added using the old one? - https://mail.vivaldi.net/webmail
At least on my end they're not there.Oh, and please add an 'Outbox' for outgoing mail. For monitoring all my outgoing emails.

Have been looking for a new mail service.
Your webmail was recommended, but I had to create for it another mail address. Which is a bit awkward.I like it so far.

At least on my end they're not there.Same here. But you can simply export the old ones and import them into the new one. A synchronization would of course not bad. Maybe there are technical reasons for the separation. I don't know.

Hi ra-mon and thanks for the suggestions.
We have not looked into importing contacts from Opera yet, although we might if we there is a lot of interest.Until then I can point you to this website:
http://hallvord.com/opera/adr2tab.htmJust be sure to choose Comma-separeted and to change the Fields names before you import.

Hi, you can just copy and paste the output and save it in a basic text editor with the extension .csv

Is there a way to move the Message Pane to the bottom instead of having it on the right side? :side:

I just tried the new webmail interface and it seriously screwed up the formatting on one of my messages
It looked perfect in Roundcube, so I'll be sticking with that for the time being.
