Vivaldi email wont work with AVAST anymore

[Sterretje]

Hello Readers,

Sinds i found out that Vivaldi has the roots in Opera, i started using it for 2 months or so.
The email workt fine with my AVAST shield, but staring from march 29, is wont send or recieve emails.

Found out that if i switch-off AVAST MAIL SHIELD protection, it works, but i dont think that is the right way.

I tried some EXEPTIONS and/or APP allowed/block settings, but it doesnt help.

Any idea what is going on?? what changed? and more importand, How to FIX it

Friendly regards,
a Dutch guy

@sterretje welcome to the forum!

Avast is coming up here regularly because it's blocking Vivaldi, creating all sorts of issues. There is nothing Vivaldi can do about it - if your anti-virus solution decides to block Vivaldi, it will do so. You will need to whitelist Vivaldi or (as I do) just rely on windows defender, which is good enough to protect you and causes 0 issues

Thanx for the fast response!

Ok, i will try to get some more info from AVAST how they are going to deal with this problem.

I like (trust) Vivaldi to much to switch back to something "less"

If i get some usefull info, i will post it here.
Have a nice day.

@WildEnte I suggested an Avast user to re-install Vivaldi as standalone and it worked.
So pretty much avast mess with vivaldi when installed for all users.
