We will be doing maintenance work on Vivaldi Translate on the 11th of May starting at 03:00 (UTC) (see the time in your time zone).
Some downtime and service disruptions may be experienced.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
We’ve rolled out Two-Factor Authentication for Vivaldi accounts and a new reputation system for Vivaldi Webmail access.

Here's a quick way to stop the spammers. Disable access to IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. Once there was a time when this was needed back in the days of dial up because many needed a way to download their e-mails into a 3rd party program and then disconnect and release the phone line. But with broadband and 5G mobile phones now being the standard, most now have quicker access via webmail. Not to mention, webmail does have its advantages like being able to store your contacts in the cloud and not have to worry about losing them when your computer crashes, not to mention your calendar appointments. Not to mention, both Gmail and Outlook.com have task managers. Wish Vivaldi had a task manager, but I guess you can't have everything.

@robbiestewart89 There are any number of agencies, companies and jobs who must have permanent local copies of emails for legal reasons.

So, Vivaldi should offer a webmail service that Vivaldi's own email client wouldn't be able to connect to?
Not to mention, that automated software these days, would let scammers circumvent that and make it possible for them to do mass mailing using only the web interface anyway..I do like the concept of limiting some of the features rather than access to the whole service, though. Maybe a limit on the number of messages/recipients you could send per day, for example, until you gained enough reputation to use the service without any restrictions.

There is the task panel... Rather limited, but I guess you can't have everything (but I still think it falls under task the management category nevertheless)

I might of missed it here, but is there a way to see your reputation points?
Overall swell guy.

@m00t Open https://forum.vivaldi.net/me/ (is your forum profile).
-
@m00t
You can only see the reputation points you've received on the Forum (click the link @DoctorG shared
).
It's not possible to see the reputation points you've accumulated on all Vivaldi's services. -
@m00t
You can now create your own signature if you like.Dank an alle hier! Klasse Browser, tolles Forum.
GNU/Linux: 'Q4OS' / Debian 12 'Bookworm', Android 7 / Android 15 ('GrapheneOS', ein Segen! Aber nur für Google 'Pixel' Geräte z.Z. Ist schon irre, um Google loszuwerden)
Dabei seit dem alten Opera Presto. -
I still can't add my Vivaldi email on the browser and this is very sad. Can anyone from Vivaldi please help?

@ingolftopf Cool!

I checked your profile and noticed that your posts here are basically asking about Vivaldi webmail. Is there nothing else you'd like to know or share about Vivaldi? Are you here only to get access to webmail?
I would even dare say that's a spammer behavior :P, change your post's topic to something more alluring...Or (as @jane-n pointed out as this other thread), since usage of all Vivaldi services contribute for your reputation, why not login to Vivaldi Social, search for a subject you like (a hobby, your favorite sports team, you city) and comment some of the posts using your Vivaldi account on Mastodon?
I have no idea what the reputation algorithm takes into account, but at least you'd be using your Vivaldi account to something you like about and focus out from whining into not having access to that one single service out of many others...

@pauloaguia I don’t appreciate your idea of accusing me as a spammer which I am not and obviously I am here to ask about the webmail service since that what Vivaldi wants us to interact? As I said I am introvert and not really into sharing stuff online in this social media age with information being disclosed all the time so webmail is the only thing I would like to discuss about.
Also, to be fair I have no one to spam and I have my own hey.com premium email. I am here simply wanna try it as a new product and provide feedback which I did provide a lot to HEY email but like the OP said the Vivaldi webmail is the glitchiest ever so I am fine with or without having it but just not appreciate being accused of me being a spammer. It wouldn’t make sense to do all these things just to spam for a short time and get blocked. Common sense is not so common…

On that at least we can agree
As for the rest, I apologize for any unintended misinterpretation of my words, and I'll leave it to moderation to edit them out if needed.
But even after rereading them, I see no direct accusations there, only words of advice. -
@pauloaguia You guys are so obsessed with the ideas of spammer. This forum is more hostile than Reddit lol
If you have stalked me already you'd know the only reason I use Vivaldi is because of their browser as I believe in the founder instead of Opera. At this point, there is no need for me to try so hard just to become a "beta tester" of the webmail. Peace.
-
@kwh Webmail is not in beta. Just have patience, you get access eventually.
-
The webmail has a terrible error message that causes confusion and wastes users' time to finally understand the issue (which is stated in this thread). I suggest showing the error with a link when a user doesn't have enough rep. to use webmail.
For godsakes, save us some time, please. -
@thoneyugn What error message do you see?
You should see "Access denied. More info here", which links to our Help page about Vivaldi.net error messages, where it's explained.
-
oh, I see. My screen was too big and the error is at the right bottom with a link in the same color as the error message, maybe I have missed it. However, I believe there is a big room for the design to improve.
-
Be nice if this was mention ANYWHERE in the signup or troubleshooting pages for your services instead of buried here in a news article.
-
Any chance anyone here can shed light on being approved for the webmail is also required for the mail client to be accessible? I have setup my account from a different provider, but I can't get it to show me the mail client.
OK I am done. I am uninstalling. Only editing so that someone doesn't go to the trouble of trying to solve this.
