Is vivaldi Webmail "self-standing"?
-
@ThePfromtheO
See, first you create a Vivaldi account. You will need to provide a valid e-mail address, any e-mail address, but it will receive a confirmation of your account creation request. Then you get the status of a beginner.Until you unlock access to your Vivaldi e-mail account, this contact address you provided during registration is your only channel of communication with the Vivaldi administration. Of course, you can register on the forum, but in case you need to reset your forgotten password, this is your only lead.
After activating your Vivaldi mailbox, you will have two channels of communication with the administration. I don't advise you to forget about your backup mailbox - it may come in handy if you accidentally get banned or lose access to your account, if you forget your password to your account and Vivaldi's mailbox.... and so on. You should have a another channel of communication. Its useful.
So the short answer to your question is that you definitely need to specify another email, a spare email ("for contacts email") to use Vivaldi email. Otherwise, you can't.
I may have misunderstood your question. But I think that's what you asked.

@far4 No, thanks, I wanted to know if I need to connect another email adress to get messages for the vivaldi domain email. Like, I thought I had to get those emails in my principal inbox, the Proton one, not in an email client already made by Vivaldi.

What is the backup mailbox?
Thank you! -
@ThePfromtheO
It is the one you specified when registering your Vivaldi account as a contact.
I described in my post how the registration process looks like. Does that sound like your personal experience?Similar to gmail, a Vivaldi email user has a reserve mailbox to which emails can be sent if the Vivaldi email is unavailable for some reason.

@far4 I understood, thanks!

@ThePfromtheO
There may be a terminological confusion here: it is important to distinguish between Vivaldi's mail client as a programme, and a web interface for working with mail in a browser - and a 10 GB mailbox with IMAP access
It is therefore important to describe the problem as unambiguously as possible.

@far4 Sorry, don't mind, but did you get access to Vivaldi webmail so far?
-
@ThePfromtheO
Yes, back in the legendary days when you had to provide a cell phone number and confirm your account by sms
It's more complicated now, it was easier in 2019. -
@far4 Besides the security reasons, I think that the actual rules that require you to build a reputation are also meant to make Vivaldi's products, like Forum, Themes, Social and obviously the Browser more known and popular through that more people will be implied in it and in helping the others to solve the (many, in my opinion) problems they have with the browser.

@ThePfromtheO
May be. But this is mostly a tech support forum. And mastodons are now a herd of them. Elephants, elephant babies and huge elephants, and blue butterflies fly over them. So I don't know how much it helps. -

What should I understand from this?
-
@ThePfromtheO
The mastodon symbol is an ancient elephant. The symbol of bluesky is a butterfly with blue wings. There are other newfangled decentralized resources.The elephant born in Vivaldi is just one of very many. It's Twitter that is unique. FB is one of a kind and huge. Reddit is one of a kind. And will there be much recognition of Vivaldi's mastodon if there are already thousands of "elephants" and other instances?

@far4 They still try it! All they can do is to do their best.
But you can't say that what I told you isn't right, at least partially. -
@ThePfromtheO
I will not argue, I poorly understand the psychology of the ordinary Western consumer (who occasionally buys something and donates). And the browser is aimed primarily at this category of people.Maybe.
But from my point of view it still feels dissonance. A lack of forethought on how to make it better. There are some shades of Vivaldi team's thinking and actions that cause a mental protest.
But - these are subtle matters, and this is already an off-topic.I have a complicated attitude towards the browser. Yes, I like it.... But!... in this "but" I put a lot of things done wrong and not right - from my subjective point of view for the five years that I have been using android/Vivaldi and the forum, and everything that is good here.
ps I apologize, I use a translator, so my phrasing may not be as accurate as I would like.

@far4 Yeah, read the comments on this post on Reddit if you have time.
-
@far4 But it is still good, although it's slower than other browsers, like Brave. And also less stable. But, in my opinion, and as I have said many times, we must pay for its customizability features and the other advantages.
-
@ThePfromtheO
I read it. But I don't use Windows. On android, I haven't encountered any problems with video playback. Except that on FB, if you start playing one video, then automatically when you scroll down the page, all the other videos start too. And I can't stop it But it's a small thing.The browser works fine on android.
And the snap version is so stable that I use it without the slightest fear. However, I always like betas and nightly better. They are more interesting! -
@far4 I use the .deb package on Ubuntu. The Android app is good, but what I'd like is to have the option to paste from the clipboard in the search bar without needing to use my clipboard. I mean, to have a button called "paste from clipboard" or something like that that appears when tapping on the search bar after you copy something in the clipboard.

On android, I disable browser access to the clipboard and use my soft-keyboard capabilities. I have copy, paste, cut, "mark all" buttons... Also have Ctrl and I can use the standard hotkeys Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, Ctrl+a etc. The keyboard has a built-in clipboard with 50 slots of 16KB each. I think it's 16... can't remember exactly. Could also be 32 or 64.
I do all copypaste operations using the keyboard only.

Hm. But this still uses the standard android clipboard: you have to paste the string from somewhere, right?
My softkeyboard just improves on android's standard clipboard.
Yes, you are right, but I was actually not knowing the topic well enough myself, as you saw. I didn't know what is the difference between email client and email server before
