If you have more details on what you prefer in the Outlook UI, feel free to share that with me. Always interested in feedback.

If you want to have the mail client in a separate window, the easiest way is just to have a separate install where you run the mail client.

Other than that, finding the mail tab is easy if you click a folder in the mail panel. You can also pin the mail tab so it is always in the left corner.

There is a bit of learning curve here and it will be different from Outlook, but IMHO it is worth it.

I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.

At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.

Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.

@fluchtkapsel

Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.

@tedel@writing.exchange

Thanks for your kind words. Did you try Workspaces in Vivaldi as well? Quick commands? The searchable Window panel?

The mail client has a learning curve, one we are always trying to reduce. On the other hand, it can save you a lot of time, once you get used to it.

A few things to note:

1. You should not have to move mails to folders. Finding mails is generally fast without the need of folders.
2. For each folder, you can decide what to show in that folder when it comes to stuff like read mails, mailing lists, trash, etc. Once you have set that up to your liking, you will save a lot of time and it is a lot less work than to move mails between folders all the time.
3. Important shortcuts : G to mark a mail as read and go to the next one. E to view mail to and from a contact, T to view a thread.
4. Vivaldi differentiates between unseen and unread mails. Unseen are new mails while unread mails are mails you have not marked as read yet.

I know these are new concepts, but there is a reason a lot of us cannot do without this.

@claridelune@vivaldi.net , glad you like it!

Have your tried tab stacks and workspaces in Vivaldi?

We will do our best to keep you happy. We will not least continue to improve our ad blocker.

@darthkielbasa@vivaldi.net , thanks for your support!

@Mossheart@lemmy.ca

Glad to hear that. Thanks for your support.

Have you tried looking at the Windows panel? You can sort tabs there. The search there is pretty helpful as well.

We continue to work on the ad blocker. It will continue to improve.

@schnedan ,

We have found that having things integrated has significant benefits, but of course there is a bit of getting used to. Give it a try!

As a side note, it is easy to run multiple instances of Vivaldi, so you can run Mail, Calendar and Feeds in one instance and most of your Web browsing in another. There is flexibility here.

@geillescas@techhub.social , I have not tried them, but it looks like they have taken some inspiration from Vivaldi. Even marketing.
