Vivaldi Built-in Email Client and other mail clients features

What is the status on M3?
Also I am reposting my desktop email client rant from here:
I'd keep your eyes on HERMES, it's based on the open sourced Eudora code and it's not the amalgamated Penelope, which implemented Eudora's features in Thunderbird.
It's going to be MDI based, like the original eudora. So imagine one windows with 10 different folders, each one monitoring a different folder.
https://sourceforge.net/p/hermesmail/blog/2018/09/the-project-plan/
Personally I am using for work:
- Outlook webmail (way more responsive than the 2016 outlook desktop app and searches are faster)
- Thunderbird (more responsive than outlook and the searches are faster, but not as fast as Opera, and it keep important emails open in tabs when you close the program)
- Opera browser for reading email and quick replies (it doesn't save drafts in IMAP but it DOES keep important emails open in tabs when you close the program). It does not support IMAP IDLE (for fast inbox refreshes, when used with DavMail to connect to Exchange). Oddly, Opera's IMAP implementation is very fast when used with Gmail's servers, so the issue is probably with DavMail.
- Eudora 7 (the final, ad supported version, pulled from archive.org, lightning fast searches, similar to Opera)
- Chandler (I use it for project management; it's not really an email app, but it can store your projects and project statuses in IMAP folders and send emails too)
I am even looking at the venerable Pegasus. I am also looking at mulberry mail and Kmail (the last version of Kmail is slow on Windows due to using an old version of QT)
I am so fed up with Windows desktop emails apps not having everything that I expect, that I might put Linux on my personal laptop and use Davmail to fetch my work exchange accounts. Then I can:
-
evaluate a newer Kmail (the kde integrated pim looks NICE),
-
evolution (the last windows build doesn't work with exchange 2010+ natively but thankfully the excellent DavMail proxy support contacts, calendar, tasks, email, and the GAL and AD directory as LDAP)
I am even considering using Emacs, mutt, pine/alpine or GNUS for email. Is there any other recent Linux desktop email program that I have forgotten?
Remember, even Marissa Mayer preferred mutt when she was at Google.
I completely agree with purgatori's rant here:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/84938Opera's original M2 client developers were way ahead of their time: at work today, most people are constantly switching between email/pim and their web browsers.
Off on another rant: I miss Wordperfect InfoCentral and wish it supported MAPI links in Windows 7-10. Thankfully it works in WINE! Background: https://www.macros.koenecke.us/InfoCentral/whyic.html

@justingoldberg M3 is closing in on general usability. I use it more and more, and some testers use it as their default email client. It does essentially anything an email client ought to be able to do, but there are a couple of stubborn problems to address, and at least one major addition pending before brave public users will have an opportunity to get their feet wet testing snapshots.

@Ayespy I thought you would lock it. as we already have lots of M3 topics.
That box Create New Topic Instead still prompts after clicking Reply.@Ayespy said in Vivaldi Built-in Email Client status?:

That makes two of us:)

Try claws-mail.

@Gwen-Dragon we should probably have a subforum for m3.

@justingoldberg I'm sure the Community Managers will do this once the Mail client gets released in a Snapshot. Until then, there's really nothing to discuss here in the Forums.

I think Vivaldi is a great browser. But we are almost 1 year later now. So how is it with the built in email? I would like it very much.
