[SOLVED] Mail client not syncing with IMAP server properly
-
@Th30philus If you just open the console (step 1 above). Do you see any errors?
-
@gmg
Yes, there are 1152 errors and 16 warnings along with other messages. -
@Th30philus Are they all the same kind of errors? Would need to know what they are. If there's nothing sensitive in them you could send them to me or just attach them to a bug report and send me the bug number once it's done.
If they're all the same or a few you could post an example of them here for me.

[MAIL - imap] Error: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.Later (0.001 + 0.000 secs).This one is interesting... (The Socket errors are fine btw, just losing internet when turning off computer and such)
Do you have a folder under INBOX called Later? Did you recently change languages so that maybe that mailbox is a different language now? -

I wasn't aware of any "Later" inbox folders prior to this discussion, but apparently I do have some. The MS Exchange account and 2 of the 3 dovecot/postfix accounts have a "Later" Inbox folder. There is nothing in any of them, and I am not aware of having ever used them.
-
@gmg Is there any progress on a resolution here? Do I need to open a separate bug report, or is reporting this here adequate?
-
@Th30philus
Reporting a bug would be nice just so you can receive an update on the bug itself and I can link it to this forum post -
@gmg I created 2 bug reports: one for the read status sync issue, and another for the deleted mail sync issue.

The problem with these errors is from the very beginning. That's why I don't use vivaldi mail. Other applications don't have this problem. I think they made a mistake in the project and now it's difficult to fix it.

@helixo
Hi, no errors at all with 5 different mail accounts, it kind of work.
Some user have issues and they should be fixed but hundreds of thousands of user use M3 all day without problems.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin What mail servers are you connecting to? Are any of them dovecot servers?
Vivaldi Stable on Windows 11 and Android 14

@Th30philus
Hi, not I am aware of, simply Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail, Freenet and some Vivaldi mail accounts.
My comment was to mention the mail client work, I know some user have problems but your thread is to erode why.
The mail developer gmg try all to help user with mail issues and I try with my small knowledge, too.Cheers, mib

Are you using Namecheap shared servers? (I'm wondering if the Namecheap dovecot server config is an issue. This seems unlikely, though, because other clients properly sync both read status and deletion of emails.)
Do you use Vivaldi on Windows 11? (I'm wondering if the Windows OS, environment, or Vivaldi Windows implementation may be at issue.)
