I get 2 different messages in my log:
1- Error: not connected - attempting to connect to ......
2- [imap , .....] [ALERT] Too many simultaneous connections. (Failure) -
@JoeDanbusky I cannot speak for #1, but for #2, a mail server with a responsible e-mail provider, will prohibit a connection, if there are too many simultaneous connections to the account at once.
If this scenario occurs too frequently, then the provider may lock, or restrict the account.
If you have a smartphone that is also trying to connect at the same time as a desktop, see if the phone's e-mail app has a setting to turn off its network connection. This will cut down on the number of simultaneous connections and hopefully resolve that issue.

I'm now getting a message: "Login for SMTP.gmail.com failed". I have 2 mail accounts; one through gmail, the other, through outlook. I have not had anything come through since Sept 26th.
Uninstall/re-install? I'm also considering just setting up a mail client through Vivaldi Mail exclusively. Your thoughts? -
@JoeDanbusky Check your Google account for third party apps if Vivaldi is allowed to get mails.
And sometimes Google changed the oAuth authentication again and wants two numbers to be selected on the smartphone
That happend for me two times a few days ago. -
@DoctorG
I uninstalled/reinstalled Vivaldi thinking it would fix issues. It did and it didn't: When I opened the reinstalled Mail, I got all emails which I hadn't gotten since September 26th, so it seems to be working once again.
I'm disgusted with Microsoft. I've had problems with them for the past 3 years and I'm looking to get off the "grid" at the end of this year. I'd like to have all emails (Gmail, Yahoo, Verizon, Outlook) run through the mail client in Vivaldi. Can I set up a Thunderbird account and have everything flow through that? -
@JoeDanbusky said in only some emails actually make it through.:
Can I set up a Thunderbird account and have everything flow through that?
Thunderbird is an independent e-mail client from Mozilla. It has nothing to do with Vivaldi Technologies.
Others on the Forum have been reporting various issues with retrieving their Outlook e-mail. If your e-mail address with Outlook is a regular outlook.com address (not an alias), then it should work with the Vivaldi Mail client if you use OAuth to login. You would have to delete any existing account in the mail client first (If using IMAP, you can also delete any e-mails saved. There is an option for this when deleting an account. Once the account is added back in, it will retrieve any e-mails from the IMAP folders upon first login.), then add the account back in. See this thread.
Yahoo and (more recently) AOL accounts can use OAuth in Vivaldi Mail.
As for Verizon, because those addresses use different POP and SMTP servers separate from AOL, you would need to create and use an app-specific password in the account's security settings once you log into the account through their web site, then manually input the server settings for Verizon accounts as shown here.
