Any word on M3? (internal mail client)

@Blackbird A new browser engine or, why not, Vivaldi OS. But I can live if they just continue to kill pet bugs
@Hadden89 , clearly that is most of our focus. Fixing any issues and adding more flexibility. That is core to who we are.

@jon said in Any word on M3? (internal mail client):
we will get a Technical Preview out
Jon, i acknowledge you have mentioned this several times recently, but i had not really focused on the practical significance of the "TP" words til now. By describing it this way, as a TP rather than just an impending "ordinary" Snapshot, does that mean that users interested in trying M3 won't get it in their "ordinary" Snapshot stream, but instead would need to download a separate new TP stream that would be akin to "Snapshot on steroids", comprising the M3 module?
Til now i had simply assumed that one day, after doing what i expected to be a routine Snapshot update, i would suddenly find it contained M3.

@Steffie , the goal is to have it in a snapshot, but potentially something you need to enable in the snapshot. We will need more time than a few weeks to get out a final release after the TP.

@jon so a vivaldi://experiment

@Hadden89 Ooh, checking now...

@Hadden89 , that is an option. We are discussing how to do this exactly.

@TheQuantumAlpha I have to wait M4 for that (my spam account really need thunderbird filters).
But the others two can go with Vivaldi ^^ One even in TP phase. -
@Hadden89 Any word on M4?

@Steffie WIWBC (when it will be created)

@jon You know @Steffie . She has the driest sense of humor this side of the Sahara.
Indeed.
But we are getting closer now.

I wonder what the next "big thing" will be to stir Vivaldi user anticipation at anywhere near the level that M3 has seen?
vivaldi://calendar will hopefully become a focus of the team, but it cannot think of anything that will level the interest of users. I doubt that an integrated IRC or BitTorrent client would.

@Ayespy said in Any word on M3? (internal mail client):
That would be an inaccurate prediction. You need to clean your crystal ball.
Prove the opposite.

@Codehunter You'll just have to watch the future unfold, won't you?

After a five year mission through the undiscovered country my feets are wound, my ears are aching from the birds thunder, my eyes are red about the many many words written about M3 and my faith in the many announcements has flown away.
Please dont misunderstand me. This isn't bashing. This is resignation.

@Codehunter It is closer to six years than five:
TechCrunch: (January 27th 2015):
βThe former CEO of Opera, Jon von Tetzchner, has released the Vivaldi Browser for fans of the old Opera. This initial release is a Technical Preview, i.e. it is neither feature complete, nor free from bugs that might spoil your day. It uses the Chromium rendering engine like the new Opera 38. It already has Panels, Tab-stacking, Notes, Speed Dial, and Customisable shortcuts and Tabs. Built-in email is planned, but mail is limited to web mail at the moment.β
