Vivaldi Mail Client Plans
-
We know it's being worked on, we know a version exists and is being tested internally, and we have some indication that it will be released ONLY when the team are confident that no one will suffer a data loss catastrophe while using it. and no user will suffer severe freezes or crashes of the whole browser framework, in relation to their use of the mail client.

Hi,
Just to sum up: Yes, we are working on the e-mail client. We want to get it right and do not want to let an unfinished client lose on our users. One thing is having a browser crash. Losing e-mail is much worse so we do not want you guys to test this on your mail boxes yet. But rest assured. When it is ready it's going to be great!

That's what I'm counting on!
And just to put this bug back in developers' ears while we're on the subject, it's really, really, really important to me to have the mail client be MAPI-compliant so that I can, once and for all, revert to a single email client rather than one for daily use and one for MAPI.

Oh yesssss - please ad mail-client as soon as possible !!!
(oh - why should mails are lost with IMAP ? - POP3 ok, but IMAP?)

I still use M2 alone and has more features than ANY other I ever found but not integral to browser, it is not NEARLY as handy.

Still evolving, constantly, but not yet ready for prime time.
Take in account that a crashing browser can be a unpleasant, but a buggy email client can destroy your history, so the development is very different from the browser part.

Thanks for the quick information - of course, the mail client must be first developed perfect …

One year later, not ready yet?
-
No, not ready yet. It's sufficiently complete that I am testing it daily, but 'way too incomplete to subject users to the torture of trying to live with it. Four guys are working diligently, but some of the problems it presents are just really hard. I feel for them. I never realized how devilishly complicated it is to code an email client.

Well, as M2 in Opera 12 is still working fine and as there's no alternative [integrated in any browser], you can and should take your time and make it rock before you release anything. What's not to like?
-
Not to be a gloomy Gus, but given the current state, Christmas seems optimistic to me. There could be a breakthrough and I could be pleasantly astonished. However, I'm aware of a couple of things which are, for me, (and for at least one other tester I converse with) showstoppers. And they seem nearly impervious to the Vivaldi mail-coders' efforts to either fix or work around them.

@BooKoo said in Vivaldi Mail Client Plans:
and may never happen.
That's not at all accurate. It will, without a doubt happen (and is happening). I am currently largely pleased with the current state of the Mail client, but there are still some areas where it needs to be brought up to snuff for public release. There is no chance that it will be released in its current state. Still too far to go. Last week early, a "minor" fix caused the client to become unusable. It took some days to fix all of the difficulties that fix caused. We can only release when such events are extremely (if not completely) unlikely. Sorry. Still too early.

Hi folks!
Any news on the mail client topic?
Maybe some New Year's resolution "This year I will release the Vivaldi mail client"? -
Jon does consider it something of a priority - but he's always been very careful about timelines. I don't feel I have the right to quote him; he can speak for himself. (That is, he did say something, but it is up to him if he wants to announce it to the public.

Hi, everyone,
as far as I know the fact that (our) mail client is being under development, I keep my agony aside.
I'm pretty sure most of us would like to have it let's say yesterday, but if we like to have a high-end product, we should wait. As long as it takes.Keep it up fellows!
