Option to always load external content

sgunhouse

@williamcallahan Strange. Even Gmail asks, it doesn't load automatically.

williamcallahan

@sgunhouse yes, Gmail has a common configuration: you can give sweeping authorization for all senders or just one.

I’m looking for the sweeping authorization [option] for all senders.

I second this. I had this enabled on Gmail for over a decade without any issues, and don't really see any reason to lose this. This would be a good option.

If you allow all messages to load external content, then eventually you're going to open a spam message that has such, and that'll tell the spammers that this is a good address, and you'll get tons more. And don't forget the pics in the adult spam.

If Vivaldi had a builtin spam filter like most programs, it wouldn't be so bad. But without one, most spam goes to your Inbox.

@Ayespy He is not the only one with this request. Me too. I supose that there is more people with this annoyance but not all them write to the forum.

@Pesala This request has more votes. So I'll merge them here.

@fred8615 you make good points but this should be up to the users' discretion. My gmail (and my fastmail) does a very good job of identifying and removing spam so that I rarely see it. I can't speak to other services but right now the main thing preventing me from using Vivaldi mail is this requirement to mark each sender as "safe". Perhaps a compromise option would be to be able to select a bunch of emails or individual senders from a list (not necessarily contacts) and mark them as safe to load external content.

I would like to have this feature as well! I second the motion!
Thanks!

Bumping this. With all the other options Vivaldi offers surely this can be added to the mix! Thank you

I too want the option to always allow loading of external content.

This option is critical. It should have been built into Vivaldi years ago. Kindly provide this feature on priority.

@amsharma
Hi, there was a feature request about but it was closed because low user votes after a few Years.
Iirc the request was tagged as "Want do" from the Vivaldi team anyway.
The Vivaldi team sets priorities here if security is involved, we as user can vote for requests.

Cheers, mib

There isn't much point in using Vivaldi mail if we can't get external content to load globally. It shouldn't be that difficult to fix. I realize the need for privacy but my email clients I have linked to Vivaldi already has spam filtering features and security features. This feature should be left to the user. There are a lot of features that make Vivaldi superior this would make it better. BTW my mail loads slowly after I delete one and move to the other.

This is an absolute deal breaker for me.

No option to show external content by default, makes the whole application an invalid choice for our organisation.

At least allow all external content from people in your addressbook then?

michalholas

Please allow loading of external content.

yorkman

This option is already available in the latest version. However, you have to click it every time even for emails that are from the same sender address. The option "Always Allow [email protected]" doesn't work because the next time I get an email from the same sender I have to click Load External Content again to see all the images.

I've opened a bug for this: VB-111946

<Sender's Email Address> and then Load External Contact, as highlighted below :

that the contact is:

- its Always allow external content in emails option is automatically selectd in Contacts, as highlighted below:
