Solved How long will it take to be able to start using vivaldi mail

sarahj

Hi, I'm wanting to move away from Outlook and Gmail but there seems to be hoops to jump through as I've just signed up to Vivaldi Mail but now find out I have to wait to build a reputation before I can use it with no mention of how long his will take. How long did it take you and how many posts did you have to write?

@sarahj I'm waiting to get access to Vivaldi Mail as well. There are no specifics (at least publicly available) as to when Mail will be available to new users. From what I've read in different forums, I understand that interacting with the community helps build reputation, but that time is the key factor.

@sarahj You only joined 32 minutes ago. Stick around for a few days, start learning about Vivaldi browser, and you will get email sooner.

Thank you @alberg and @Pesala. As required for Mail access, I'm getting active in the forum by creating this thread. Hopefully it will grow to give others an idea of how long it takes too.

@sarahj for reference, I joined over a month ago and have tried to be active enough to get reputation (but not too active to be marked as spam). Still waiting on Mail, but hopefully I will get access in the not too distant future In the meantime, I'm enjoying learning about what all the browser has to offer in addition to Mail.

Wow @alberg , that's a long time! Good luck and keep us updated

I could be wrong, but it looks like receiving a thumbs up contributes to the reputation score.

There's no such thing as a connection between "too active" and spam. Spam is things such as commercial content, repeating the same content over and over, and comments that are completely unrelated to the thread topic. Be as active as you like. Participate in many topics with meaningful content. Start a blog. Actually engage with other community members. Things like that.

@suharji Thanks for the advice. I have used Vivaldi browser and email since they started. Today I started a new email from scratch and found the not authorized error. Guess I should have went about it differently.

@conradiner To use webmail for a new account, the current requirement is that you build reputation for the new account until webmail is approved.

@pablotabla Welcome to our Vivaldi Community

Your reputation see! is low; i guess you did not use Vivaldi Sync and do not discuss at Vivaldi Social (Mastodon)?

Ayespy

@pablotabla You registered five minutes ago.

And registering is not the same as being active. If you don't use sync, participate in the community, etc., it does not matter that you have "registered."

@Ayespy thankyou

@DoctorG
To clarify, only the forum posts' upvote count is shown on the forum profile as reputation. The number does not reflect the overall reputation someone has gained from using Vivaldi's services (Sync, Forum, Vivaldi Social, Blogs, Themes).

@Ayespy
The "joined" time on the forum's profile shows when the user logged in to the forum for the first time, not when they registered the Vivaldi account.

@pablotabla
You'll get an email when you have access to Vivaldi Webmail. Until then, just keep using the Vivaldi browser and services without thinking about the reputation.

I’m in the same boat, so I’ll need to post a few things on here as well.
