@CatherineL same problem, this is sick, dude
-
@sasnet
Hi, many user told the Vivaldi team ask for the mobile phone number is sick.
@CatherineL reported in the first post this need 5 days and a few posts here.
I use a free mail service from Freenet but they pester me with ads on the web client, Vivaldi does not.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin you are not informed enough, it is clearly written in the new "vivaldi rules" that the phone number has been removed and is now based on these community points. doh! there are plenty of free emails without advertising, but I was interested in vivaldi anyway.
-
@sasnet
Yes, the reason why it was removed was many user not accepted to share there number.
My first Vivaldi account was created when no phone number and/or reputations was needed.
At this time the forum was bombed with spam and they created the phone number restriction.
Anyway, after a few days of use you can reach the mail account.Cheers, mib

@WildEnte I’m well aware of FastMail but just suggesting everyone here can also sign up hey.com (by Basecamp) if they’d like to pay as their privacy policy looks good to me and 100GB storage for $99 per year. I don’t work for them at all but just find this reply forum thingy to get access to a service is a bit redundant as no one has that much of time to do so tbh.

@kwh, if Forums aren't your thing, there are other ways to be active in the community. You can post and comment on Vivaldi Social, write blog posts on Vivaldi.net, share browser themes you've created on Vivaldi Themes, use the Sync feature in the browser.
But as said in other threads on this topic, we hope you'll genuinely use the services for their intended purpose and because you enjoy them, not to get access to Vivaldi Webmail. -
@jane-n I switched from Opera to Vivaldi because of your founder. It’s fine if Vivaldi have decided not to give email service to people like me who’s introvert or don’t like to share information online. I don’t mind.
-
Same here. My husband and my two sons created their vivaldi account and were able to collect a webmail, and I have to be active here to have my webmail.
Altough I totally understand this policy intended against scammers, it's hard for me to "share about me" hoping to grab a webmail. -
@luffim said in New Account, No Webmail:

Well, "sharing" can be misinterpreted; you could just get involved in the forums - helping/suggesting things to those with some difficulties with Vivaldi on your O.S. or on IOS (from your sig
).
Also, just "chatting" with others in the everything else category.
If people find your posts/thoughts/insights useful (or even just amusing) they can upvote your posts and hence increase your "reputation".
-
@TbGbe I understand, and will try to do it. I just don't feel nice to perform some kind of "acting" to secure a webmail.

@luffim
Hi, it means participation rather than activity.Cheers, mib
-
@luffim in a perfect world....
-
@luffim You don't need to share your personal information.
If you're just going to use Webmail, and not Vivaldi or its built-in client, you could start reading some topics in the Webmail Forum and reply or ask questions there to get up and running faster when you get your account.

Just received my webmail. Thanks to Vivaldi team.
Working on transfer ASAP. -
@luffim
Thank you for reporting back, how many days you need?
By the way, Vivaldi for iOS is in a test stream, no idea how it work to get into but many user test it at moment.Cheers, mib

@CatherineL Thank you for making this post, I was going absolutely insane over why this stuff wasn't working.
-
Can we do a /r/freekarma4you style thing here? Upvote each others' comments?
-
@pornlemmy You will not gain more reputation if you vote just for fun other posts.
But you can vote for posts in forums you like.
