Flags + read/unread status from Yahoo! Mail not syncing
-
Messages from Yahoo! Mail populate perfectly, and in the direction Vivaldi -> Yahoo the flag and read/unread settings sync perfectly (and almost instantaneously). In the direction Yahoo -> Vivaldi (meaning an update made in Yahoo! Mail), however, the syncing for these two attributes doesn't work at all. If I star a message in Yahoo, I never see a flag in Vivaldi, and if I read a message in Yahoo, its unread status never changes in Vivaldi.
To further add to this mystery, the syncing of these same attributes works perfectly in both directions on messages in my Gmail account.
I've tried deleting my Yahoo account from Vivaldi and adding it back, to no avail. An obvious bug here that needs to be reported -- can someone advise how to go about that?

Did you try the troubleshooting suggestion made to your similar post here: Setting flag on sent message?

Sorry, I hadn't seen your reply to my earlier post. I tried the test method you described -- starred a message in Yahoo Mail, exited Yahoo Mail, set new label type Example on that message in Vivaldi, and typed in the fetch command in the Filter field on the Console tab. Nothing was returned at all. It's possible the problem might have to do with the below error I see on the Console tab with no filter applied, or perhaps I did something wrong -- though your instructions were clear and I followed them exactly.
DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for https://forum.vivaldi.net/assets/src/modules/pulling-drawer.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE

The error is nothing to do with Vivaldi Mail so can be ignored for moment.
Try clearing labels and then re-apply Example label before checking console.
-
Still nothing returned. If I may, I'd like to try a different Fetch command -- say, for all flagged messages -- just to see if the filter works for me at all. Can you let me know the syntax to fetch flagged messages or some other simple command?

The typed Filter condition is applied to the log output generated by Vivaldi Mail when in debug mode. To confirm if Settings > Mail > Mail Settings > Turn on IMAP Logs in Console is working as expected:
-
go to Developer Tools Console
-
type
DEBUGin Filter field as highlight below:
-
do you see lines beginning with
[DEBUG]?
- yes, then amend Filter to
FETCH labelvivand post redacted filtered output here, for example:
- no, check Turn on IMAP Logs in Console is selected under press ** Settings > Mail > Mail Settings
- yes, then amend Filter to
Should this still not work then post back here with detail of which operating system is being used to see if flagged message information can be retrieved from command line using curl command.

Applying the DEBUG filter returned many rows. I confirmed the 'Turn on IMAP Logs in Console' was properly checked. Typing in FETCH in the Filter field leaves all the returned rows in place, but when I continue typing a space then Lab the rows all disappear. I'm running Windows 11 on a PC.
As I mentioned, the flag attribute works perfectly in both directions for messages in Gmail. I tried following your original instructions on a Gmail message -- starred it there, applied the Example label in Vivaldi, and ran the FETCH Labelviv command. For this Gmail message I'm seeing the following logs (redacted as you instructed):
S: * 15688 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen \Flagged $labelvivExample) MODSEQ (21559150) UID 78111)
S: * 15688 FETCH (UID 78111 MODSEQ (21559150) FLAGS ($labelvivExample \Flagged \Seen))
S: * 16610 FETCH (UID 242638 MODSEQ (21559150) FLAGS ($labelvivExample \Flagged \Seen))
S: * 1 FETCH (UID 2698 MODSEQ (21559150) FLAGS ($labelvivExample \Flagged \Seen))
S: * 15688 FETCH (UID 78111 MODSEQ (21559150) FLAGS ($labelvivExample \Flagged \Seen))This is clearly a Yahoo-specific problem, and only in one direction, i.e. Yahoo -> Vivaldi. (Flags set in Vivaldi flow to Yahoo Mail properly.) As noted, this lack of synchronization issue applies not only to the flagged attribute, but also the read/unread attribute.
-
I cannot be certain this is a Yahoo issue and think it worthwhile raising as a bug in Vivaldi Mail.
