V Mail Error | Unexpected Char at Position
-
Thank you. I'll have to set up an mailfence.com account for that one. Might be able to reproduce it since it might happen for all mailfence accounts
-
@gmg Is there a chance the team can add more verbous logging in one of the next releases, which can point out to what email is causing that? Right now the error is very generic, and this is a pretty old account with thousands of emails in it. If I have a way to find that email, i'm more than happy to provide that info for your investigation.

Hiho.
Is there any known fix for this error? -
-
I see the same error quite a bit, but it's always while trying to connect to specific IMAP servers previously added to Vivaldi Mail, not while adding a new account.
-
Yes I get this error after adding a dot mac account. You cannot work normally afterwards because of ongoing errors. Logfiles are full of connection errors.

one need to type in the long safe password qqmail provided:
when I typed in the password provided by qqmail, it remained like:
then nothing go further, I don't know whether this is caused by updating to the latest version. -
@rtransformation
Hi, does it work before 6.1 or is this a new account?
Do you use IMAP or POP3?
I guess you don´t use OAuth but app password.
Maybe ask in the Chinese sub forum, I guess not many user use this in Europa, for example.https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/23/中文-chinese

@mib2berlin Hi, it worked when I use the 6.0 version and It was very stable.
I use IMAP
I do use the OAuth password, not the app password.
okay, I will try it in chinese forum also. -
@rtransformation
Thanks, if other user can confirm this it is maybe a regression in 6.1. You or another user can report it to the bug tracker then. -
In my last post：https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/88147/vivaldi-mail-cannot-login-my-qq-mail
I cannot login the QQ mail, this time I successfully logged in to my mail, but still have problems, the SERVERS show between the following two state frequently：
I want to know that which one cause this problem, vivaldi or the QQmail? -
@rtransformation I have seen the Unexpected character at position X error, many, many times.
That is coming from the remote mail server, not Vivaldi and it should eventually clear up.
-
@rtransformation That error message states Vivaldi Mail has a issue with IMAP server of qq_mail.
Which Vivaldi version do you have?
-
@DoctorG latest version, 6.1.3035.100
-
@rtransformation Is a known issue
VB-93424 "IMAP connection error: Unexpected char at position 74" - Confirmed.
I pinged a developer. -
@DoctorG Sorry, I forgot to feedback that the problem has already been solved in the latest version. I don't know how to mark this post as 'Solved', Please help me do that.

This week I have installed Vivaldi 7.0, and have been added two existing e-mail accounts. One of the accounts has problems in syncing with the (IMAP) server: Unexpected char at position 132, related with the sent folder.
With the other account (web.de): no problems in initial syncing.
After having added the account with the above flaw in Thunderbird, all is well.What is apparently needed: an opportunity to precisely log the failing sync job in order to allow the team to find the root cause.
-
Addition: after sync also the number of unread messages is at zero. Only after sending new mails to that account, the counter increments.
Since the status after syncing in a Thunderbird account is okay, I just consider to remove the account in Vivaldi and then set it up again, but then explicitly import the mail database from Thunderbird and then "expose" the client to the internet, while hoping that sync then does not result in new problems.Therefore, any hints would be welcome before I proceed this way.
