Add mail account without SSL/TLS

@gwen-dragon
And? As of now 5 Years 50 weeks left.

@gwen-dragon said in cannot create mail account (grayed out) {local server}:
@michaa7 I say: WIR.
You said: Wait ...
... for an answer on how long I'll take, I guessed ....
-
As I said in the title, I want to add my company mail account to vivaldi mail. But I failed. Vivaldi mail force to use SSL/TLS and I can not alter this setup.
-
@hutiwush We currently just support SSL/TLS.
Were you wondering about plaintext or STARTTLS?
You can make a bug with the setup you want and list the reason for it. Then we get an idea for the demand for it. -

@gmg I just want to add a account without any security strategy as other mail client. You can take a loot at this pic.

@hutiwush We understand. The ability DOES NOT EXIST at present.

@ayespy OK. I understand. Is it in your develop plan ?
-
@hutiwush I wouldn't know. I don't work for Vivaldi. I am a volunteer. I can't think offhand WHY Vivaldi would want to add insecure functionality, but if there is a demand for it, anything could happen.
-
@hutiwush Best would be to make a bug and/or move this to feature request and people can vote for it there.
There people can vote for it and we can prioritize.
Quick question, is this connecting to an internal server? Is that why you need no encryption method? -
As nothing has changed so far, is there a way to circumvent the need for SSl/TSL for my local webserver. I still cannot create an e-mail account within the vivaldi browser because vivaldi requires a SSL/TSL connection. But localy that's like asking for a visum when you need to go to the bathroom. This is complete overkill. Please allow for a normal connection. Cant be that tricky.
So .... any progress here??????? Damit.

I'm trying to add my email account on Vivaldi.
The incoming server uses 143 port and it requires "no security method". It means that I should leave that field blank but Vivaldi seems imposing SSL/TLS without giving me the option to modify.
Is there anyone can suggest how to fix it? -
@Fabri69
We don't support plaintext authentication for security purposes. Is this for a localhost server? -
@gmg yes it is
-
same here:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/62044/cannot-create-mail-account-grayed-out-local-serverbeing forced to ssl/tls using a lokal server is equivalent to being forced to ask for a visum when wanting to enter your own bathroom ...
So please let vivaldi use our own local environement without hassle
-
@gmg Of course an option MUST be given to the user NOT TO USE SSL/TLS for a connection. Vivaldi makes here a decision instead of a user as if the developers of Vivaldi were educated in Redmond. Shame on you.
-
Many of us use own IMAP servers or an authenticated secure method to connect to a network with an IMAP server. A decision to not to provide an option to the user to have a connection to the IMAP server without security may have an educational purpose but serious people perhaps do not need to be educated by developers of Vivaldi. I think a missing option for defining access to an IMAP/SMTP server with NO security is a serious drawback for Vivaldi. Not because no security might sometimes still be safe but because the developers of Vivaldi here make a decision instead of the user, which in a world outside Microsoft Windows not the developers but the user should make alone.
And yes, no security may still be safe.

@mracz welcome to the forum.
Imagine going to a party where drinks are served for free, taking the mike and shouting "the music sucks, shame on you!"
You may have a point, but in most cases you won't be the hero.
-
@WildEnte Well I appreciate all the hard works and all the saints but the issue here is not what needs to be developed further, but rather to let the user set up his own security. I am leaving now this party because the drink offered here to me was consumed at once by someone else. Cheers!
