@juanvase: Probably when it is a feature of the browser and not just a technical preview. I don't want to give people the wrong impression about this being part of the core browser yet. In addition, if you are using the preview features, you really should be reading the blog post.

I don't know if this has been reported but, in the update window, only the standard Changelog is visible :
The rest doesn't appear :
Changelog for Mail, Calendar and RSS ongoing Technical Preview
[Mail] GMail users should have option to skip OAuth authentication (VB-74616)
[Mail] Implicit/default ports not applied to connection during setup (VB-67717)
[Mail] It should be possible able to switch between OAuth and app password (VB-74980)It's not an issue for me, just to know if this is intentional or not.
Edit I presume it's due to the fact the mail, calendar and RSS are only in Technical preview.

google still blocked my sign in for g-mail, oh well

I open a new thread on the same topic published in snapshop previous, because of the need for more information.
I use different keyboard shortcuts using AutoHotKeys, so that when you are in any other program, when you select a text, a script copies it to the clipboard and opens a new page in the default browser.
In one example, the following line opens the default browser, to go to the Wikipedia search with whatever is pasted in the clipboard.
Run https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%clipboard%
If Vivaldi is closed, he's doing fine. If I open it, and I run that script the first time, it does well. But the second time it takes longer, and the third time more and so on.
I have unglazed vivaldi to have a clean installation, without registering as a user (no extensions, nothing at all). And he's still doing the same thing. Another default browser, based on Chromium, such as Microsoft Edge, does not do the same. It works well and as expected. Then... it's a vivaldi problem
(for not checking every snapshop backwards, I installed version 3.4.2038.4, because I knew it worked well).
I think it is a problem with creating new tabs, possibly dragging from snapshot version 2110.3

Google has not yet accepted our mail client as a secure app (despite a very long standing request).
Why should they? Vivaldi blocks ads, damaging revenue streams for Google, and pro-actively campaigns to open up the web.
Why should a near monopoly make it easy for Vivaldi? It is a dog-eat-dog world outside of this safe bubble of Vivaldi users.

Yep, me too. It doesn't even show up as a blocked login in the Google account security pages. Just ... nada.

@Ornorm Google broke our mail box

@ornorm: Intentional, see my earlier comment

@mossman: Another way to access would be to setup an app specific password and use two factor authentication

Never going to use two-factor since in my opinion it is LESS secure to give away my phone number to Evilcorp.

(I'm sure they can scrape that off all their farmed data anyway (I'm very suspicious of default phone and messaging in Android these days), but why just give it away?)

Sigh... why use gmail in the first place...

Hi, Gmail is working fine now with IMAP and password authentication, nice.
