Storage

In Vivaldi mail each account gets 10GB of storage space.

To see how much space you’ve used:

1. In the Mail view, look at the bottom left corner of the window, next to the Logout button.
2. You’ll see the percentage of used space immediately, but you can hover the mouse cursor over the section to see how many megabytes of the allocated 10GB you’ve used.

To see the size of specific folders:

1. Go to Settings > Folders > select a folder > Information > Size;
2. Click Click to get folder size.

When you start running out of space, you’ll get a warning, asking you to create more space by deleting some emails. When you reach the 10GB limit, new incoming emails won’t be delivered and the sender needs to send the email again after you’ve created enough space in your mailbox.

---

Folders

In the folder settings, you can add, edit and delete your mail folders. In addition, you can delete all message in your mail folders.

Archiving emails

To archive your emails:

1. Go to Settings > Preferences > Special Folders;
2. Select a folder for your archive (or create one first in Settings > Folders) and choose how to sort them into additional folders.
3. Select the email(s) you want to archive and click Archive on the menu above the email view.

---

Identities

In Vivaldi Mail all emails need to be delivered to and sent from [email protected]. This means that different aliases, unfortunately, can’t be used. But, if you have set your Vivaldi Mail up in a mail client, you may use plus addressing (also known as sub-addressing). With plus addressing you can add a keyword to your email address ([email protected]) which allows you to create different variations of the email address. Everything between the + and @ symbols is ignored when deciding, to which account the email belongs to.
You can also create Filters with these addresses to automatically organise your emails into different folders.

---

Signature

To add a signature to your emails:

1. Go to Settings > Identities;
2. Select your identity;
3. Write your signature.

You can add either a Plain Text or HTML signature.

For additional signature options, go to Settings > Preferences > Composing emails > Signature Options.

---

Spellcheck

To check the spelling:

1. Select the email language from the small arrow next to Spell on the menu above the email composer.
2. Click Spell;

You can enable automatic spellcheck before sending an email and other options in Settings > Preferences > Composing Messages.

 

You can always access your mail from any browser on https://webmail.vivaldi.net/, but you can also set your mail account up in a desktop mail client or mail app on your mobile device.

There are many different mail clients available. To add your Vivaldi account to a mail client of your choice, follow the mail client’s instructions for adding a new account.

Add Vivaldi webmail account to Vivaldi Mail

To learn about the browser built-in mail client, check out the help pages about Vivaldi Mail.

To add your Vivaldi webmail account to Vivaldi Mail:

1. Make sure you have a enabled Mail, Calendar and Feeds in Settings > General > Productivity Features;
2. Go to Settings > Mail > Mail account;
3. Add a new account;
4. Enter your Vivaldi email address;
5. Click Continue;
6. Select whether you want to verify yourself via OAuth or App-Specific Password.
7. Enter the relevant password and log in.

Once you’ve logged in, Vivaldi will start downloading your email messages and contacts. In Mail Settings you can also add a name, signature, enable prefetching full messages and check server settings.

OAuth vs App-Specific Password

Use OAuth when you haven’t enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your Vivaldi account. To use app passwords, you need to have 2FA enabled.

You can create a new app password for your Vivaldi account after enabling 2FA on your account’s profile on Vivaldi.net. For more information and instructions, take a look at the Help page about Two-Factor Authentication for Vivaldi accounts.

In case you need our assistance with setting up your Vivaldi account in a mail client, please send us a message below.

After staring to use Vivaldi mail, you might want to bring your old emails with you, so you can continue using email from where you left off. Here’s how.

Importing mail from another account

Setting up both accounts

The best way to move all of your emails from your current mailbox to Vivaldi is to set up both Vivaldi account and your current email provider’s account using IMAP in an email client of your choice (e.g. Vivaldi Mail).

Follow your mail client’s instructions for adding new IMAP accounts. If you need to enter Vivaldi’s server settings manually, check out our Help Page about setting up your Vivaldi mail in a mail client.

Moving the emails from one account to another

Once you have set both accounts up, you can move emails from your current email service provider’s IMAP folders to Vivaldi’s IMAP folders. To move emails:

1. Select the emails using Ctrl/Shift key or by other means available in the mail client;
2. Right-click on one of the selected emails and select either Move to or Copy to (path and labels may vary).
3. Select the corresponding Vivaldi folder as the destination.

To move whole folders full of emails, hold down the Ctrl key and drag the folder to Vivaldi’s Inbox folder.

If the suggestions above don’t work in your mail client, please refer to that mail client’s help documentation for moving emails.

After you have moved all the emails, you can use the Vivaldi webmail interface on webmail.vivaldi.net, continue using the mail client and add your Vivaldi account to other mail clients (e.g. mail app on your phone).

If you’re keeping the other account active and it allows automatic forwarding, you can set up email forwarding from the previous account to your Vivaldi email. That way you don’t have to manually check the old mailbox.

---

Exporting emails

To export all your emails from Vivaldi to another mail account, do the same as with Importing emails. Set up both accounts in a mail client and copy the emails and folders from Vivaldi to the destination mailbox.

Downloading emails

To download a single email:

• Open the email;
• Click on More (. . . ) on the menu above the mail view;
• select Export;
• Save the email as an .eml file.

Downloading all emails

Downloading more than one email at a time is, unfortunately, not possible in the Vivaldi webmail interface.

To download emails in bulk:

1. Set your Vivaldi account in a mail client;
2. Select the emails you want to download;
3. Right-click on one of the emails and select Save as/Download;

Depending on the mail client, the instructions may vary. If the above doesn’t work, refer to your mail client’s help documentation for downloading emails.

Enabling encryption

If you want to send and receive encrypted emails.

1. Go to Settings > Preferences > Encryption;
