@javicmrs this has been requested before, see for example this discussion https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27229/vivaldi-mail-app-for-mobile-phones or this one https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/97180/add-mail-calendar-feeds-on-vivaldi-for-android-and-ios

@mesnitu you can just leave this thread, I'll ask a moderator to close it. Discussion of the feature should take place in the other thread just so things don't get scattered too much.

@mesnitu said in emails to tasks:

When you say that you created a bug report, does that mean it's being implemented?

If it only were that simple 🙂

This is a user forum, meaning that the developers sometimes participate, but it's mostly driven by volunteers and the community. The community tries to give good feature requests visibility with a voting system, which just means to add a like to the first post of a feature request. The more likes, the more community members see value.

The devs work primarily in their internal bug tracking system. The creation of the bug report just means that there is a clear link between the tracker and the forum.

Sometimes devs will show that they are picking up on a feature request by adding a tag here on the forum such as In Progress, Pipeline and Nice to have. Our feature request isn't highly requested - enough votes that it doesn't die, but not too many to spark a lot of interest from the developers. I think it's underrated but somehow that's the case with all my feature requests 😉

Agreed! Just to double down: I can use Ctrl-+/- to change the apparent (screen) font size in the email reader pane, but it does nothing to change the font size in the pane containing the list of emails, nor in the folders pane, nor (and this is really surprising) in the draft pane (when I'm writing a new email or a response to an email). If I need to change the size in the reader (preview) pane because of my old eyes, it stands to reason I'd want to do so in the other panes as well.

Related to this, one should be able to set the apparent text size once, and have it hold between Vivaldi sessions. This does not happen currently. If I use Ctrl-+ to embiggen the text, and then close and re-open Vivaldi, OR if I close and re-open the email tab, my choice of apparent text size reverts. If for some reason it's not desirable to retain the apparent size set by Ctrl-+/-, then there ought to be a way to set it in the Settings.

(If these should be two separate requests, let me know and I'll split it.)

@Ayespy said in Vivaldi onboarding for new user; email & calendar:

So what you're referring to is webmail clients.

I'm not certain that this is what's meant

@halbrick said in Vivaldi onboarding for new user; email & calendar:

contrast with the much easier and intuitive email/calendar setup process I experienced as a Chrome, Yahoo, Firefox and Microsoft user.

I believe this refers generally to onboarding experience when starting to use a product. It is possible to compare setting up calendars and mail in web interfaces and in local clients to some degree (I think some local clients are nowadays essentially PWAs). It's also possible to compare the onboarding experience of tool A with tool B, even if those tools have different jobs (eg browser vs mail client).

Regardless, I'm very interested in what @halbrick can explain and am looking forward to it, and as a community we will benefit if we try to make the leap to see what we can learn from experiences with other tools, even if those aren't 1:1 comparable.

@WildEnte In an attempt to avoid further confusion I have re-worded the title of this request, previously: "Launch Vivaldi Mail as a separate stand alone app". So this is just a note to put your comment back in context. Thank you.

Okay, i guess that does it, thx.

@00sapo I couldn't agree more - please see this existing feature request (which so far only has 18 votes, way too few) https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/53410/copy-email-to-calendar-entry-task-or-create-calendar-entry-from-email

@CptnChicken Yes, unfortunately the Tasks pane does only appear in Agenda view, in day, week, mont view the events ans task are shown both mixed.
I think a extra pane is useful in all calendar views.

@WildEnte The reasons for me are privacy and the reduce my CO2-footprint. All that data costs lots of energy to store in a data centre, while I don't use it anymore.
With Google it is possible to select the dates from when to when you want to delete your calendar events.

@mib2berlin makes sense to me if the unique selling point is a search database which is synced between devices. So regardless of which client has seen the full email body, every synced client finds / filters the email appropriately without necessarily having downloaded the message body.

I think this would be a great feature for cars in particular.

@Yaminoyuurei while Vivaldi does not have a mail app for Android/iOS, consider FairEmail. https://email.faircode.eu/

Summary of this request:
This feature request is about ensuring that the selected calendar colors are not only displayed unchanged in the calendar field of "today", but also in the past and future days.

So far, the latter have been watered down by default (in light themes) or darkened and discolored (in dark themes).

There should at least be an option in the settings to retain the original color for all appointments.

@ayub mail should not draw that much power, from my point of view it's a bug. Please file one here https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/

A while ago Mail CPU issues could be fixed by doing a pretty hard reset of the mail index. Maybe this helps here too...? See https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/84788/mail-calendar-feeds-hogging-cpu/

I don't understand this

@frisket
Hi, there were several similar requests over the years but this will not happen.
If you don't need feeds/calendar don't use it, it takes no resources.
You can remove the icons from the UI if you like.

Cheers, mib

This is quite complex. Vivaldi supports the CalDAV standard, whereas Google meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom etc are special proprietary and service specific - it would require Vivaldi to implement an integration addon for every such service and as soon as anyone is making a change to their API, Vivaldi breaks.

I think this is a good request but don't hope for it to manifest itself any time soon.

You raise a good point here: I love Vivaldi's mail capabilities. Question remains, whether the team wants to go this far. It's a browser by all means. But I nonetheless would very much second your feature request.
So go ahead and put it in the right place, and we'll see, what's happening: https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/185/desktop-feature-requests

Take care, Jochen

The colors are supposed to be taken from the server. Not really sure if they never did for google tasks (Google (willingly or by accident) has a weird combination of CalDAV and proprietary APIs for calendar clients) or if this is a regression. In any case, color not coming from the server is a bug.

There have been also requests to be able to locally override colors for online calendars. This has not been implemented yet, but we'd like to add it.
