Vivaldi Mail 1.0: A powerful email client built right into your browser.
-
I'm loving it.
-
@ahmetturp: Mozilla Seamonkey (https://www.seamonkey-project.org) back in the days, was a browser and an e-mail client as well, already; and Opera, too.
So Vivaldi is not pioneering, rather keeping Jon's vision of internet usage through the years...

@mib2berlin: It is also fixed in this build which is exactly the same as the snapshot but built for the stable stream.
-
@fyboch: You only needed to update. It is fixed with this build

@mib2berlin Current Vivaldi Mail 1.0 is in 5.3.2679.51 Desktop.

The new mail client is awesome!
Please make it a "quick reply" feature, like the old Opera browser had:

Congratulations to Vivalid Mail 1.0 - it was a long road. And it seems there are still some miles to travel.
First of all: Import from Opera Mail is here, yeah! And it finally works with me and all my mails seems to be there. But there was a "import failed" message for my GMX accounts. These accounts were marked as offline (is there really no way to the mail accounts settings from within Vivaldi Mail?) and the settings were there, besides the sender name and the passwords, of course.
1.) But it seems that the passwords are not saved! I can't check or send new mails and if I re-enter the settings for mail accounts, the passwords are gone.
2.) There are no folders for the adressbook (and feeds) yet. And contacts which had multiple mail adresses in Opera are now split into different contacts (although this feature is supported). And the notes for contacts are gone.
3.) Custom labels from Opera are gone and I wasn't able to create filters (rules!) or edit labels in Vivaldi Mail.

That is all great, obviously. However, there is one thing which I did not find in this article: how to sync my mail/feeds between multiple computers? I use gmail + feedly, and the beauty of web apps is that they are PC independent. I can check my mail/feeds from my desktop, my laptop, and from my wife's Chromebook, if necessary. And I won't lose any of my data if my PC gets stolen or the disk dies. How are these things addressed in the new Vivaldi mail and feed reader?

@mib2berlin Play store is Android so that number is not relevant. Hover the download button on desktop and it will tell you the current version in the status bar of your browser. The blog will also tell you if you are running an out of date browser, or look in the blog side bar and you can see the version number of all the

@szakacsg: We have this on the roadmap

So, I decided to give the email client a go. In an hour I wasted playing with it, I have submitted 3 bug reports. I have tried the email client with my vivaldi mail account - they should really work seamlessly together, right?
Well, the only thing that mostly worked was the account setup (even then, there were problems with rich text signatures). After that, I was not able to get a single message from the server (11:34:10.599 error [Mail - ] TypeError Cannot assign to read only property '1' of string 'Flags'
), and was not even able to delete the account when I got frustrated with it ("Deleting ..." message is shown forever, even after vivaldi restart) !I understand bugs happen, but then don't announce the email client as ready for use! From my experience, bugs like that could be expected in an early alpha version. But not in a release version, after it was in beta for a long time! Please, don't waste the time of the users who don't want to be beta testers!
P.S. To those responsible for quality control - seriously not cool

@alexjak For most it just works. But your profile might have issues. Try to set up your Vivaldi mail account on a fresh profile. This will take 5 minutes at most and then you will see whether it works.

I was excited until i saw that your intro video features an american republican, that is, a representative of bigotry. How intentional was this on your part?

Before you start: Please keep political views outside this forum, we're talking about an internet browsing software here. And not everyone is an american.

you're not a moderator, nor an employee, as far as i can tell
i asked Vivaldi the company who introduced political content in their advertisement video to comment on their act

Catch-22 when Vivaldi themselves did it first. If you have an honest and sincere concern, do contact a moderator, otherwise unless you are a paid representative of Vivaldi who can provide an answer to my question, your input is appreciated and discarded.
Edit: Oh, and if you do contact a moderator, be sure to do your due diligence and report jon's post here which introduced content likely to offend people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or political views.
