how to add INBOX to my email?
-
i put my gmail account into vivaldi. That worked ok BUT. There's always a butt right?
I see unread, received, etc. etc. Garbage i don't care about. I want an INBOX. I don't want to see subfolders, etc. all rolled into one. I don't care squat about unread, drafts, etc. etc. I see email all the way back to 2019. I don't care.. All I want is an INBOX the same as I had in gmail.
Does anyone know how to set one up? If I can't get one done so I can use vivaldi without the garbage hassles I'll just delete the entire thing.
Anyone have any how-to's for me?

@fubduck There is an Inbox for the Gmail account.
Vivaldi's mail client supports multiple accounts. If you have more than one account, then you can see the mails in the Inobx for them all in Received and new messages in Unread.

Hi, if you want a mail client looks exactly like Gmail it is maybe better you use the web client of Gmail.
Why some user think a different software should work/look exactly like the software the user already use?
Anyway, simply disable what you don't need:

@fubduck
First setting will prefetch mails. So they'll already loaded when need;
Second setting is self explained.
If Archived folder is missing and you use it check this:
Uncheck All Messages (which is the global inbox) and only keep All Accounts:

Just checked Vivaldi mail client but disabled it due to the lack of inbox view. I thought I could somehow move inboxes from "All Accounts" to a separate section or to toolbar. Moving "All Accounts" to the top is no option, as each Account takes about 10 lines and I have to unfold by clicking on the account icon.
So for the time being I stick with mac mail and keep watching this thread.

@gerritgriebel I just don't get it. Why does anyone need an Inbox for All Accounts, when we have that already in Received or Unread?
You can watch this thread for a decade, but I doubt if there will be a significant change to the way that the Vivaldi email client is designed.
This request, for Add Inbox to All Messages has only 3 votes after more than a year.

I'm using magic Vivaldi for 2 days now and got feedback on my post after minutes posting it. Wow
I'm using eight imap mail accounts, private and business, two of them are gmail. Some are accounts for system e-mail which I share with other sysops. For personal mail I distinguish between unarchived (inbox) and archived. For system-e-mails we distinguish between undeleted mail and deleted mail, where deletion also may be a move to a personal inbox. I recall that "Archive" is not really a standard, rather introduced by gmail. But it has taken up and can be found in various webmail offerings.
I have configured the imap folder mappings in mac mail see https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/change-mailbox-behaviors-settings-cpmlprefacctmbox/mac and separately on the iPhone for each account under "mailbox behaviors" including Drafts, Deleted and Archive. The iPhone mail client just shows "Inbox" folder as its inbox.
During my daily e-mail routines I discover that I need for example "send e-mails" for some accounts frequently, for others never, hence the idea of allowing the user to decide on the order and appearance of buttons including the imap "Inbox" folders.
-
Received (and Unread) works like a unified inbox if you disable the toggle button "show custom folders"
Vivaldi also supports moving emails to imap folders, and archiving as well. From my point of view the question is mostly about getting used to the name "Received".
Happy new year! -
@WildEnte This is what I have in macOS Mail: two inboxes (2 of my 8 accounts shown):
and this is what I get in Vivaldi:
It's the same in the sense that "K6" contains the same e-mails as above K6->Inbox and "GG" contains the same e-mails as above GG->Inbox. So what I'd like to achieve is the above layout, maybe with toolbar icons.

@gerritgriebel Uncheck all messages from here (which is the unified inbox):

@WildEnte Thanks for pointing me to those feature requests, I did vote for both of them

How do I sort unread messages so I do not have to see emails from 2004 (20 years ago) at the top?
-
@Tambourineman welcome to the forum!
there's a little arrow (looks like a v or upside down v) above the message list right above the scroll bar
Please open new threads for new topics, this makes it easier to focus discussions.

THANKS!
Brand new to Vivaldi and its webmail. I quickly tried the ^ expecting it to automatically reverse the chronology, but I did not immediately realize I also had to scroll.
Got to checkout/learn some other things (like not showing spam [like FastMail] (unchecking the Spam filter does not work) and to see if I can move the user data folder to another drive so my OS system C:\ partition (kept purposely small) backups aren't so large and don't take so long. I ditched Outlook as relocating the .pst file was too clunky. When I was still working it was over 50GB (and drove my IT support crazy) . Vivaldi's is only 4Gb so it manageable and seemingly can easily be separately backed up.
