Vivaldi Mail? That took a while :-D Vivaldi is developed by a team created by the former Opera founder and CEO. Vivaldi kind of tries to re-create the spirit of Opera, but I think it's going to be too hard to do it. For those who didn't use it, Opera was first a paid browser (which limited its reach), then an ad-supported browser (which again limited its reach). It then finally became a free browser but by then it wa…

I believe Opera was the first browsers to introduce tabs.

I'm pretty sure Galeon had tabs before Opera, but maybe something had tabs before Galeon.

Not going to download it just to find out that they didn't bother supporting Office365.

Talk about entitlement.

1. It's a beta product.

2. It's free.

3. They support IMAP/POP3 so you can make do with that for now.

I'm trying Vivaldi again since as an expat I depend on single-click in-browser translation.

For me, the killer feature is built-in no-nonsense vertical tabs, something I had in Galeon many years ago because it used the Gtk+ tab widget. I hate hate hate that Chromium cannot do this, because dogma.

I'm surprised it took this long for Vivaldi Mail to come out. I believe it was teased relatively early on in Vivaldi's life although I don't envy the developers that had to work with IMAP.

I am not the biggest fan of the licensing policy along with the inclusion of a third party translating service but I welcome any competition to the market.

FWIW, Microsoft Edge also has vertical tabs.
