I've been running vivaldi since it was an early release. It's by far
my favorite browser, first thing I do on a new install is install it. :)

I have used it's email client, but I'm currently not and my only reason
is I'm just used to webmail now.

I installed and configured it so far, but haven't used it very much as of yet.

I've never used webmail, and probably won't, so this may be a game changer for me. On the other hand, I've also used mutt in the past, and it's just a no frill, simple email client for the terminal that I also enjoy.

How's that for two different ends of the spectrum? ;)

Nick

You will. ;)

I have mutt configured for my sdf email but since I live in a browser at
work it was just easier to switch to webmail for everything I need.

I couldn't imagine how you made it this long without ever using webmail. Impressive man!

... If you took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, eh?

Duuuuuude. I configured a bunch of it the other day. Added my email accounts, etc. I'm kind of impressed. Why hasn't anyone else thought of having your email accounts listed on the left side in it's own pane WHILE you browse the web!? That's kind of genius.

Before anyone tells me that a thousand other browsers already do this, I've used Firefox for as long as I can remember, which doesn't have that feature. So it was nice to see for the first time.

I have mutt configured for my sdf email but since I live in a browser at work it was just easier to switch to webmail for everything I need.

I've had mutt and neomutt setup at different times. While I enjoy them, they would be better off staying on my non-gui VMs. But then, makes it kind of pointless when I access those gui-less VMs with a full fledged desktop that I install any other email client on.

I couldn't imagine how you made it this long without ever using webmail. Impressive man!

I can't say I have /never/ used it, but I've always been one to use a client that downloads the mail for offline use and/or links directly to said webmail, than point my browser to something not hosted here, I suppose. All of my email addresses have a webmail feature (one is from my ISP, another is hosted at Zoho, and another is Gmail), but the only time I actually access those is if I think there is a problem on my end grabbing my mail from those places.

Nick

It's been many years since I used a dedicated desktop email client on my PC that downloads email locally. I tend to access my email (usually Gmail) from multiple devices: My home PC, my smartphone, work PC, etc., and I feel like it's easiest to just use Gmail's web interface when I'm on a PC; for my smartphone, I use the dedicated Gmail app.

It may be easier (and probably is), but in my opinion, the interfaces of every webmail I've been to are ugly in comparison. I'm sure you can change how it all looks and feels, but I haven't even tried to use them to that extent.

I'm digging Vivaldi, though. Killing two birds with one stone, here. Email accounts listed on the left side of the browser is pretty flippin' awesome.

Nick

i always downloaded my mail locally via Thunderbird (archive starts in 2008). Cause i like to archive those emails for long time periods, just in case i have to come back to an old email for some reason. Also alot of business related emails that i wanted to archive.
i have a little hybrid solution to have access to the latest emails on my phone. I just have an freemail account on the email app on the phone and my main email account has a rule to forward everything to this email account on my phone. So i always have the latest emails and attachments with me, but got the emails archived on my home computer also and can delete the emails from my phone whenever i think it is not relevant to have them available there any longer.
It's maybe not for everyone, but it works quite good for me =)

me. On the other hand, I've also used mutt in the past, and it's just a no

Word to that. It's pretty much all I use. When I absolutely must access an email from something like a phone or other device that it's hard to use a proper terminal on, I have RoundCube webmail installed and I can bounce the message off to that.
