Vivaldi webmail service blocked by Microsoft (Outlook, Hotmail, Live)

@Ayespy, why does Micosoft behave like this?

I would only be guessing. In the greater scheme of things, Microsoft doesn't care if little companies live or die - but the more of them die off, the easier life is for MS. And of course if Vivaldi users can't communicate then it makes it harder to get enough users to be profitable.

On the other hand, Jon S Von Tetzchner beat the pants off of Microsoft in court and cost them tens of millions of dollars with the EU forcing them to make IE removable, and to offer a choice of browsers (including Opera) in a menu while setting up a new Windows system. And Vivaldi is Jon's company, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. If there is any corporate memory at MS, then they don't like Jon.

@Ayespy thank you for your assessment.

This is one of the addresses I have had a problem with but there was one other hotmail address as well. We are both on the same internet service provider and I can send an email from my yahoo account.

This is the mail system at host smtp.vivaldi.net.

Hi, Microsoft is blocking mails from vivaldi.net, the Vivaldi crew is working on a solution but MS is not much interested to change this.

Cheers, mib

@takaishi29 what Microsoft is doing is not a nice story at all.

But it describes Microsoft.

Surely, he cannot send email to me.

Emails sent from Microsoft to Vivaldi are delivered without issues.
But with one side blocking emails, having an email conversation is basically impossible.

[ReadPriest]

@mib2berlin Thank you. It figures.

[ReadPriest]

@mib2berlin Tested it with my own outlook address and it was also returned. I really need to install linux!

@jane-n
microsoft is still received by vivaldi. not the other way around. is this true?

[Ayespy]

@fiftyfourforty Vivaldi does not block any senders. It receives Outlook, Hotmail, and other MS-branded emails just fine.

[jane.n]

Yes, as @Ayespy said, we don't block emails sent from Microsoft's email addresses. Microsoft blocks emails sent from Vivaldi.net.

[Ayespy]

@jane-n Wow, @jane-n !

You are up and on the job 'way earlier than I expected!

[VivaLaUSA]

As of today (6-5-22 10:10AM PST) a message (from Vivaldi) sent to an MS email account successfully reached its destination.

We can only hope this continues to be the case.
