Is vivaldi Webmail "self-standing"?

[ThePfromtheO]

@Pathduck Ok, this is what I wanted to know. As I said, I can't use my proton email because I have to pay.

[Pathduck]

@ThePfromtheO You can connect any Email Client to Vivald's mail service. Doesn't have to be a webmail client.

Sorry for asking again, but does this mean that ProtonMail is also supported for free?

[Pathduck]

@ThePfromtheO Why are you mixing up Vivaldi's mail service and Protonmail. These are two completely unrelated things.

You can't connect Vivaldi's webmail to Protonmail.
It only connects to Vivaldi's mail service.

[ThePfromtheO]

@Pathduck Because you said I can connect any Email Client to Vivald's mail service

@ThePfromtheO No, Proton mail doesn’t work with the inbuilt Vivaldi client. There isn’t really a reason to use Proton, it only encrypts emails sent from and to another Proton email account, in any other circumstance your emails are not being encrypted.

Yes, any email client - to Vivalid's mail service.
Not related to Protonmail at all.
Protonmail is a different mail service.

[Catweazle]

@ThePfromtheO, yes, you can add any mailservice, also Proton to the inbuild Mailclient for free, the Vivaldi Mail is a Webmail like others, independent from the browser, you can use it with any other, or with an other Mail Client, like eg.Thunderbird, if you don't want to add it to the Vivaldi Mail Client.

@luetage I don't know, look here:

[ThePfromtheO]

@Pathduck So, since ProtnMail doesn't use IMAP or POP3, I cannot connection to Vivaldi Webmail, right?

[Pathduck]

@ThePfromtheO No, you cannot connect any other email service to Vivaldi Webmail.

But... what did you mean here?

[ThePfromtheO]

@ThePfromtheO Excuse me, I think I became foolish over the night

I linked you articles, explaining the difference between an email client and email server. They are good articles, I suggest you read those.

[ThePfromtheO]

@Pathduck Ok, I think I understood. But, to have access to vivaldi webmail, do I must create a blog on Vivaldi Social and use Mastodon?

[Pathduck]

@ThePfromtheO There's no automatic "do this to get email access". Just prove you are a human and not a spammer. And wait until you get access, I don't know how long.

Creating a blog or using Vivaldi social helps I guess.

[ThePfromtheO]

@Pathduck Only one question, I hope.
Do I need to have an email connected with Vivaldi Email to have the chance to get access to Vivaldi webmail?

[Pathduck]

@ThePfromtheO No, you just need to wait for access.

@luetage Ok, so I asked because Proton emails don't support connecting with other mail providers without ProtonMail Bridge, which is a paid feature.

Vivaldi mail client has Proton logo in the list of options on account set up page. So I presume you can use Proton with Vivaldi mail client

[WildEnte]

@iqaluit proton Mail works with proton bridge, when you configure the IMAP connection mode to SSL instead of STARTTLS in the proton bridge advanced settings
