Hi,
This is a Guide related to the Mail Client builtin Vivaldi.

If you have a problem with WebMail Service or the Mail Client, search for the answer if already happened or open a New Thread.

Thx

Great work here. You must have spent a good deal of time on this.

When you get to ¨Filters¨, could you let us know if Vivaldi Webmail filters can be imported to Mail?
I seem to get a lot of Spam and use Webmail more so I create Filters there. I know they can be downloaded but not if they can Imported.

I realize that Webmail is simply RoundCube and Mail is a different animal but it would cut down on duplication of work at the user end.

@greybeard Webmail filters cannot be imported into the mail client. Spam filtering on the server is making much more sense than in the client.

also see here for Vivaldi's take on the matter and here for configuration of the server side spam filtering.

@WildEnte
I was not aware of the ¨Server-side Filtering" mentioned by @thomasp in the post you mentioned.
I looked into it and have it enabled now. Hopefully this will make the entire filtering process more efficient.
I have only included the most obvious of spam and just to Move them to the junk folder so I can review them.
Many Thanks for mentioning that.

@greybeard glad if it helps! I haven't tried server side filtering, I'm interested to hear how it works for you

I'll try to remember to keep you posted. I put more memory in the computer to compensate for all that I lose.
