As @Jon said, it's only a matter of time before it's in a snapshot.

I hope it will be soon and not only in form of a snapshot as Opera + M2 give more trouble each month. Most M2-users will probably be forced to use a standalone mail-client if M3 takes much more time to come.

It will be a flag you can enable or an experiment. You can use it from that time on, but it still a technical preview.

Speaking of which. M2 started to refuse to allow me to reply to certain e-mails or forward e-mails in general unless I set it to "prefer plain text" (As opposed to html view). It shows the reply/forward form but I cannot edit the text at all unless I switch it to "prefer plain text" before hitting R or F keys to reply or forward. Any ideas what might be causing this? I am not aware of any changes to my local setup, but it is true we changed our e-mail hosting.

We have just launched Vivaldi Mail & Vivaldi Feed Reader in today's snapshot. Let us know what you think.

@Gwen-Dragon thanks for your input. We're super grateful if you share it as a separate request.

I just want to say I appreciate it has not been closed and marked as done like my other request

I've put my thoughts under the blog post but can copy them here too, probably clean up a bit if that's needed

peefy

@Gaëlle I was very excited, but I have only gmail accounts, so I cannot use it

Ornorm

@peefy If you want, you can create a Vivaldi mail account.

@peefy I have GMail accounts and I'm using it...

@pauloaguia

How? It doesn't work for me even if I enable less secure apps (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en).

pauloaguia

@bimlas I don't know for sure. All I know is that I'm getting email notifications when email arrives, click on them and see the email in Vivaldi
(I'm also using yesterday's Sopranos build, not sure if there's a difference)

@pauloaguia

I think you are in the lucky first 100 user:

Google has (after 9 months) still not approved our account access Consent Screen, thus currently the number of accounts that can be logged in to GMail IMAP and Google CalDAV with Vivaldi’s client at any one time, is limited to 100

peefy

@pauloaguia What exact server settings and port settings for gmail do you use? Thank you!

peefy

@Gwen-Dragon okay, sorry!

A more generalized feed, please look : A generalized and more user-centered feed ; data streams monitoring (mail, html differences, rss feed)

and once again, it's not done
OPML import is broken (skips folders, it used to kinda work in Experiment though and you have to restart the browser after import for it to actually show articles)
no opening article in new tab by middle click, no favicons and overall whole experience is slow and glitchy

it's not done. period.

EDIT: and the latest changes in themes are making it so unreadable too, with some tinkering it should get better but realistically proposed themes shouldn't be unusable for any part of the product

@zakius The RSS reader has been out for a while now, I feel confident in saying the basic functionality is "done". If there's any bugs, then please report them through the usual channels, and if you want extra features on top like favicons or middle click to open, please make individual feature requests. Thanks.

zakius

basic functionality is not there yet and the feature is buggy enough to be officially considered beta

it is not done and pretending it is won't change that

guys, really, I understand it takes time to get things done but advertising features that are not yet in an usable state as "done" won't bring you users, it can only make them see you as not trustworthy
it's toolbar config once again...

luetage

@zakius It’s your personal opinion. In my personal opinion your suggestions are horrible and would make the feed reader worse.

zakius

@luetage can you maybe explain how making OPML import work properly would break the reader? or how making it work fast would break it? or how not having to restart after import would break it? or how being able to (not having to!) open an article with a single click would break it?
