Introducing Vivaldi Mail in Technical Preview

Thank you so much for your work! The end of using M2 is in sight. @jaws:
Finally!!!
Some functions missing but ready!

@ayespy: At least one of the ESPs I use allows me to send mail from alternative identities, but not to log into the server using alternative identities. I can do this with both Thunderbird and Pegasus mail.
Since I don't see separate fields for the login address and the sending address on Vivaldi, do I understand correctly that I can't do this? (I'm not talking about small, obscure ESPs; I'm talking about Runbox, Fastmail, and Zoho.) If I understand correctly, the problem is indeed the lack (in Vivaldi) of separate fields for the signin address and the sender address.Thanks.

@DavidJ I have separate fields here, but I am not sure they can be filled in separately.
-
@ayespy: I'm not sure what you mean. I see a field in the window with the server settings which I can change, and a field in the sending window which it seems that I can't change; it shows what I have filled in in the server window. Is that what you see?
If it is, then it appears that I can only send mail from the single address which I can use also for sign-in to the IMAP and SMTP servers, and not a few separate sending identities, as I can with Thunderbird and Pegasus. Is that correct?
Thanks.
D.
-
@DavidJ Like I said, I don't believe they can be filled in separately. There are separate fields, but I think whatever you put in the receive field is forced in the send field.
-
Yup. I think we're saying the same thing. So please inform whoever considers these things that some of us would like a new feature:
(Several) sending identities independent of the login identity. (Thunderbird and Pegasus mail already have this, and several ESPs are equipped for it.)
Thanks.

Can I somehow force Vivaldi to put my "Mail" tab in the Window I want it in? I run with 3 windows, personal, work and multimedia.. after setting up Mail I restarted my browser, and now its in a different window. If I use the "move tab" functionality, it ends up in a different window but just with the text "is open in another window", works again if I move it back
Pinned tabs did this too btw, I pinned one on one window, and after a restart its in a different one..
I'm also getting a lot of "error during threading" status updates while importing (which is why I restarted, to see if that helped) - the terminal window has a lot of "RangeError: Maximum call stack exceeded" and "Uncaught (in promise) undefined" errors
-
@castaway the URL
vivaldi://mailshould work to show the mail tab.

What do you wanted to import?
-
@Gwen-Dragon In the "wrong" window, vivaldi://mail just shows this:
I'm importing/loading all the email on my local imap server (having eventually given it an "external" hostname so that I could talk to it over ssl)
-
@Gwen-Dragon Almost 100k messages from my local server - vivaldi seems to have stopped importing now, and is showing 7k messages in the inbox (hmm, and nothing that arrived in the last 10mins or so since it stopped importing) - any ideas?
-
@castaway Do you download complete messages, please check the account setting in Vivaldi. That take much time.
And rarely antivirus-scanners can interfere with the mail database.
Perhaps a restart of Vivaldi helps.
And the mail client of 3.5 Stable may have some issues, which were fixed in 3.6 Snapshot! I do not remember all fixed bugs in Vivaldi Mail.
-
@Gwen-Dragon "Prefetch full messages" is not checked. I'll have a go with the snapshot..

Give it the 3.6 try but the please go on with discussion in https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/54480/two-level-tab-stacks-enabled-by-default-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-2137-3/ , i think it is better not to mix discussions of different versions as the Vivaldi TP is older.
-
love these little touches (notifications count):
-
@DavidJ My comments backstage to developers have no weight, to speak of. You need to file a feature request at https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/194/mail-client
-
@Gwen-Dragon Is there one for the 3.5 release? That's what I'm actually running: 3.5.2115.81 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
-
@castaway said in Introducing Vivaldi Mail in Technical Preview:

No, 3.5.2115.81 is the latest Stable.
-
Just downloaded and having a first look - much to like here. Can't see how to add folders to an account, and having added one in the web version (it's a vivaldi.net account) it's not been reflected in the browser. I'm no IMAP expert - shouldn't I expect both of these things to work?
-
@aja The Vivaldi Mail is missing creation for IMAP folders at this state of release. But that feature will come. And is really needed by users!
