Mail app without the panel?
-
Mail app should be allowed to open as a complete app without the left side panel. Clicking the show mail button on the taskbar should open all three columns instead of showing an incomplete email client. Notifications should also open email client instead of opening an email in a tab, since non of the buttons like delete does nothing after the action has been taken.
-
Reminds me of Opera Hugin and Munin
not my personal preference but a sensible request I guess.
-
Filed a bug report with VB-80186 to open all three columns without the side panel.
-
In the current Snapshot (on 64-bit Linux), when I select the envelope icon at the bottom, it opens up the default Inbox folder on the left and the e-mail display window on the right. Not seeing the main Mail panel, unless I manually select it.
-
Vivaldi please show some love to email client. Please show the full email client when opening it, all three columns without the side panel. Opening the side panel shows left panel only, opening the mail from status bar shows only two panels, email list and message list, its never complete. Please show the whole email client without the side panel.

@saudiqbal The entire email team is working hammer and tongs all day every day. They are chin-deep in some very difficult issues. There is no more "love" Vivaldi can show the email client without hiring more developers.
Still, you can file a bug report asking for the UI changes you want. It will at least put it on their radar, which commenting here probably will not. If you do this and let me know, I will convert the "bug" to a "feature request" backstage, and add my comments.
-
I agree that notifications should not open mails/feeds in a new tab.
For the rest of your request: I tried to grasp it, but I did not succeed. You want a standalone mail client that has the panel integrated? Or no panel, and then what? "all three columns" == panel + message area + reading area?
And I want to agree with @Ayespy: while it really bugs me that pgp is still missing, M3 (both calendar and mail) are treated exceptionally well. Faster progress would always be nice, but I feel that M3 is still top priority and being actively improved.

Ooooh, oooooh, i know this one!
Thunderbird.

@saudiqbal Like @jumpsq I am have difficulty understanding the feature request, so if you submit a Bug as suggested by @Ayespy the developers will probably not understand it either.
I don't use the mail button in the Status Bar, but I see that it might be useful for those who don't use two windows on two monitors.
Without the mail panel, one cannot switch between views, e.g. from Received to Sent, but there is no need to keep the panel always open. Just collapse it, showing only the Panel Toolbar. Open the panel to select a folder, then close it again.
Opening a single mail in a tab is convenient if you just want to read a message and reply to it. Open the full mail client if you want to organise, delete, or label messages.
-
@saudiqbal The request is already there
For me, a freely detachable mail UI [its own window] would be fine. Sadly, both have not too much votes. -
Thunderbird.
You're talking about the mail client with an integrated dysfunctional browser? Such bloat.
But as far as I can remember, thunderbird has a "panel" i.e. navigation bar on the side... I'm still confused by the request, sorry.
-
I think the request is quite clear: make it possible to always show mail panel and mail tab regardless of where you click to access your mail and without going through extra steps. Essentially connect opening and closing of mail panel and mail tab. This is good for everyone who sees no value in having only the panel or only the mail tab open.

Am I missing something, I am not seeing any option to show the whole email client without the side bar panel? It should be Inbox | Message List | Message text I am not seeing any option to see this, hiding the side panel hides the Inbox. Just got an email that it got fixed in https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/so-many-fixes-snapshot-2603-6/ VB-80186.
-
@saudiqbal this is a new setting. Go to Settings - Mail and uncheck "Display mail panel when viewing Mail"
EDIT: Not sure I understand what you mean with the Inbox that you are looking for. The panel contains the general structure. Message list == Inbox when Unread (or Received, or an account's inbox folder) is selected. So I'm not sure what you mean when you say you want to see the "Inbox" on the left of the Message list.
-
@wildente The way I understood it is that @saudiqbal wants the contents of the panel itself to be inside the mail tab, thereby completely removing the necessity to have the panel at all.
So rather than having a panel open automatically when you enter the mail tab, those menu entries would always be there.

@altcode said in Mail app without the panel?:

I have these settings checked:
Settings - Mail - "Display mail panel when viewing Mail" && "Open Panel automatically"Clicking on the open mail tab or going to the mail button in the status bar and selecting "show mail" now opens both panel and mail tab simultaneously, and selecting any other tab automatically closes the panel. So I really see no difference to the mail panel being part of the tab except if I switch panels while looking at mail (then, switching back to the mail panel, the mail panel stays open when leaving the mail tab).

And I believe that's probably whay @saudiqbal wants (they'll have to confirm though). By having the mail panel as a panel rather than just a component of the mail tab, you lose the ability to simultaneously open a panel that has nothing to do with mail.
I'm quite happy with the automatically opening mail panel, but I would very much welcome it being made as something that is just part of the mail tab so that I could open a different panel.

@WildEnte
I wish the Mail panel button had the same behaviour as the "Show Mail" button on the status bar pop-up. -
-
Its actually not done yet, side panel still opens when I open the mail from status bar.

@saudiqbal did you uncheck these?
