Notify new users of Vivaldi webmail requirements on Settings page

The second graphic that is displayed above, is the screen where you create your Vivaldi account, it does not mention mail at all. The account lets you create a blog, participate on our Forum, access Vivaldi Social (our Mastodon instance), as well as synchronize your browser data.
Please see https://vivaldi.com/blog/community/two-factor-authentication-for-vivaldi-accounts/ for information about the reputation system now being used, in order to obtain access to Vivaldi Webmail and the reasons for it.

@edwardp I understand the reputation system and support it. What I don't get is I am able to send mail from my Vivaldi account, but am unable to receive mail to my Vivaldi account. Is it akin to turning the faucet on 1/2 way?
-
-
@edwardp When I access my mail via my profile page ("here") no problem. I can send; and it displays all the emails I have sent to my Vivaldi account. The web application where I am having the problem. It also says "off line" in the mail status dialogue window.
-
@mw1025 Log out of all Vivaldi services, then login to WebMail at https://webmail.vivaldi.net directly.
Are you seeing the same error?
-
@edwardp Nope. Works fine when I log in to webmail directly.
-
@mw1025 OK. I would still suggest sending a Support request via the link provided above. Explain what happens, when it happens, when it doesn't and also reference this Forum thread.
-
@edwardp In the web application in mail status box, when I click on logs, here is the error message I get:
Error with Permissions-Policy header: Origin trial controlled feature not enabled: 'interest-cohort'. -
@edwardp Sorry missed your recent post. I will send support a request. Thank you for your help!

Glad to be of help.

@edwardp I figured it out on my own. I had to go in to Mail settings. In sync options, I had to uncheck the "take account offline" box. Bingo!
-
@mw1025 Glad to hear it's resolved.
-
@edwardp well almost. Turns out it works fine on my computer at work....but not my home computer. Server settings are all fine; settings at home are same as at work....but the email in the browser remains off line. I did submit a help request a couple of days ago.
Here are the logs in mail status:
19:21:51.327 warn [Mail - Panel, Accounts] Some offline accounts in prefs are missig from accounts table and will now be restored!

@mw1025 As I don't know if you have yet heard back from Support, one thing you can do, is delete the accounts, exit Vivaldi, relaunch it and add the mail accounts back in.
If they are IMAP accounts, then any e-mails will remain on the IMAP server. As I don't use POP, I do not know what happens to any messages already downloaded, if a POP account is deleted.
When deleting an IMAP account, there is an option to delete/keep any messages that were downloaded from it.
-
Agree. It should be highlighted even before the actual mail signing up.
Also probably would be nice to receive an auto mail which explain what the account is able to do (at creation) and another one on what will do (once the reputation level is reached)
