There is also a possibility to create a mailing list, also Vivaldi can automatically create folders according to a pattern of a mail address and then, regroup the messages from a mailing list in this folder. Most of these feature are pretty common among the mail clients : layout setup, notifications, new mail check frequency, render HTML or Text, etc. The mail settings contain a lot of feature to customize the mail client. When you have multiple windows, the mail client will start in the first one that opens and it won’t be possible to move it to another window.īecause of that, on my actual setting, the mail client started in a window with a lot of tabs despite me wanting to separate this feature in a dedicated window.
On my actual setup, I have two windows of Vivaldi where I like to dispatch my various tabs.
For this review, I’ve used a fresh install inside a virtual machine. Last thing about the interface is a known limitation. The form is quite simple and possesses a lot of formatting options. The compose form is available on the top left of the mail tab. One possibility to avoid this weird display is to modify the panel settings and set them to display on the right of the window. The problem is that’s because the mail folders are displayed in a panel, so they’re on the left of the tabs. Tabs on left : what is this weird mixing ? I like to put my tabs on the left of the window, and when using the mail client, it’s just weird and make feel it doesn’t belong to this place. However, there is one thing I don’t like : the tab integration. The layout can be modified to display the mail preview on the bottom. Vivaldi Mail looks like to the usual mail client : vertical split of the screen, folders, list view, and mail content. The second thing I’ve noticed is the “Threads” view is enabled by default and I hate this confusing view ! Fortunately, you can disable it quickly with the button on top right. I prefer this one ! This is one of the various settings that can me adjusted. However, after scrolling a little I’ve noticed a second view “All accounts” that displays the folder correctly. As Vivaldi render them, it’s a mess.Įxample of folder seen by Evolution and the Webmail. My mailbox is sorted and I have several folders and subfolders (with automated purge). The first thing I’ve noticed is the folder hierarchy is not respected. The root cause has been found and a fix should be released in the further versions. Somebody on Vivaldi’s Forum had the same issue and the solution provided by the developer worked for me. Error : TypeError Cannot assign to read only property ‘1’ of string ‘Flag’”.
Finish the setting with your sender name and hit “continue”Īt the first setup in my actual Vivaldi instance, I had an error in the status bar : “Mail client startup failed. Once setup, the panel will immediately populate itself with your mailbox content. If not, you’ll need to fill the IMAP and SMTP servers settings and your credentials. If you’re using a well-known provider, the setup should be automatic and will asks for your credential. Click on “Add Mail Account” in the panel to setup your mailbox. You’ll notice the opening of a side panel and the addition of the entries related to Mail, Feeds and Calendar in the settings. If you’re on an existing profile, open the Settings and search “Productivity” to enable Mail, Calendar and Feeds. To enable the Mail, Calendar, and Feeds feature, select the third choice : “Fully Loaded”.
If that’s the first time you’ve installed Vivaldi, you’ll be welcomed by the “How much Vivaldi do you want ?” screen. With this feature, the browser is now closer to its ancestor, Opera pre-chromium era, which was a comprehensive Internet Suite instead of a simple Web Browser (including Mail client, Torrent, IRC, etc). Along with its version 5.3, the Vivaldi Browser also released a stable 1.0 version of its Mail, RSS Feed reader and Calendar client.
