      I have been using Mailbird as my consolidated mail server but decided to venture into Vivaldi and its multiple features. Downloading the contents of 9 separate accounts and when my hard drive memory was imperiled I checked for cleanup.
      OUTLOOK files were created on my computer as part of my Vivaldi download. How? Why? Vivaldi uses Outlook?

        @Cirneco said in Vivaldi Mail service created Outlook files - WHY?:

        OUTLOOK files were created on my computer

        What makes you think they are Outlook files?
        Vivaldi mail client uses ".eml" format - is this what you are meaning?

          @TbGbe Probably the files are not asspciated with Vivaldi by Windows, and therefore are listed in File Explorer as being Outlook files Doesn't actually mean only Outlook uses that format.

            @Cirneco What is a Outlook file? I do not see such on my Windows 11 with Vivaldi.
            Do you mean files with filetype .eml? The mails in Vivaldi are stored in Vivaldi profile Default\Mail\ subfolder.

                @Cirneco Your Windows is dumb as hell, the .eml files are not files for/from Outlook, Windows erroneous thinks they need to be opened by Outlook .

                    @Cirneco Just ignore Windows’ dumbness.
