Unsolved contacts

@DarkAngie
Hi, if you open the Contacts panel and hit + no new panel open but a edit area in the Contacts panel:
Maybe it is very small or minimized in your Contacts panel.
Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin Not if the contact is empty.
Vivaldi Contacts panel has a known bug where you can no add a contact with + button. -
@DoctorG
You meant you cant add contacts if 0 contacts are in the list?
@DarkAngie
Do you use the Vivaldi mail client for your Google mail account.
If you do all Google contacts are imported automatically.Opensuse Tumbleweed x86_64 KDE 5, Windows 11 Pro, Vivaldi latest

@DarkAngie said in contacts:
The problem now in Vivaldi is that i can not insert manually a contact in the list. The plus button don't work.
Yes, the plus button fails if there are no contacts in Contacts list. A known and confirmed bug.
Solution:
if you have some mails listed in mail list view, you can hover a mail address in mail header and add it by context menu to Contacts. -

If you do all Google contacts are imported automatically.I have all my contacts in google and i managed, following a long tutorial, to export them to outlook...it was a complex procedure, cause exporting the CSV file lead to an incorrect list in outlook due to the commas.
Now, can you explain me what is the meaning of: "Do you use the Vivaldi mail client for your Google mail account?"
Yes, i added gmail account to Vivaldi browser, yahoo and outlook. I begin to use Vivaldi some days ago (i was using Brave browser) in the meantime i was exploring all the features, and there are quite a few, of the Vivaldi Browser. I really would like to have my extensive contact list inside Vivaldi.
One more thing, i can not access vivaldi web mail...it gives me an error, i can not access because i do not have reputation enough
thanks for your input

@DarkAngie Vivaldi (the browser) has an email client that you can activate (and probably have activated, since you are looking at adding contacts). If you add an existing mail account (say, your GMail email) to Vivaldi to download and read your email in Vivaldi instead of the GMail interface, Vivaldi will add all email addresses and names from emails in your database to the contact list (not in a very smart way, just whatever it says in "to" of all the emails)
Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds. Opinionated about working efficiently with email. Folders are evil | Mail workflow: receive, read, reply, mark as read, done.

... send an email to yourself?
yes...i did yesterday when i was adding my accounts to Vivaldi. I send some emails to myself to test the accounts on Vivaldi, but somehow the emails never arrived to the accounts. So, i clear all the accounts and began again the procedure.
And i began to test again the accounts. This time all the emails i sent to myself arrived and i could add me to the contact list and now it is open to add more contacts manually.
I guess i can say case Solved
i can not tag this thread as solved, would someone, a moderator clear this case
Thank you all for the input, Vivaldi community is strong.
