Vivaldi 7.9 is here!

@Vivaldi the auto hide feature will be a big help on my laptop, where screen real estate is at a premium.

I decided to try your mail program again, and I can't even get my old Hotmail account to have the OAuth window to pop up. Guess I'm going to stick with Thunderbird.

@Vivaldi When will the new version come to IOS as its not here yet?

@Agonio @Vivaldi

Last time I tried the mail feature and connected it to my locally hosted (literally localhost) IMAP, it apparently tried to download/index/parse every last one of the many hundreds of thousamds of my stored e-mails, instead of just getting IMAP folders and message headers. I seem to recall I had to `kill -9` it to regain control of the system. Might this have changed recently?

@Ruston Mobile versions are usually released a week later. Don’t worry: they will come soon!

@ilpalazzo Same for me: in fact, it seems that I have to show the panel first before I can show it in AH mode (including full screen mode with AH on), for F4 to work in these modes.

Another annoying behavior: if I enable AH, panel bar (usually hidden in normal mode) is on when I switch back to normal mode. It should stay hidden (and the latest active panel still on, ready to be shown again with the panel bar).

But I understand that it is the first public release, and I guess that it will be fixed in the next versions (7.10? 8?).

@Vivaldi I like the follower tab idea a lot and I'm think I'm going to like auo hide...trying it. Thank you for allowing us to pick components if we want something to stay (i flip tabs to much...hiding them would drive me nuts 🤪 )

@Vivaldi side note glitch while playing with it. if auto hide on, panel unchecked. panel will not F4 hide, or hide from the hide button.

@Vivaldi @Em0nM4stodon why does "UI Auto Hide" have the sparkle icon? I associate that icon with all those other products' #AI features and it makes me concerned.

@jerrej

When you add a mail account to Vivaldi Mail it'll download a month worth of messages, but you can adjust it from Settings > Mail accounts > select account > Identity > Sync Options.

@cynical13

If you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled for the account, you need to use an app specific password instead of OAuth to log in, but if that's not the case, please describe in more detail what happens, when you try to add your Hotmail account to Vivaldi Mail?
If you see any error message, what do they say?

[jerrej@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi but will it do that before or after I add that account according to those settings? And what is a month, really? A month from every last folder? No.

[trittriton@shelter.moe]

@ilpalazzo @Vivaldi I found a trick: press F7 (to show the bookmarks panel) and F4 will work again until you exit AH/full screen mode.

[ilpalazzo@social.vivaldi.net]

@TritTriton @Vivaldi Thanks, I'll give it a try on my work PC tomorrow. Meanwhile on my home box everything works as Intended I assume and admit it is rather neat.

@Vivaldi

I don't currently have 2FA setup.

When I try logging in with OAuth, it sits for several minutes, trying to connect and I finally get a message that says "Login for smtp-mail.outlook.com failed. [object Object]"

When I use the password option, it sits for several minutes, trying to connect and I finally get the message that says "Login for outlook.office365.com failed. LOGIN failed."

So I setup 2FA, used the app specific password that Outlook.com gave me, and... same error message.

@Vivaldi This updte totally broke my browser. No more windows-buttons in the top right, the adress bar is only visible when it's on the bottom. DIsabling or re-enabling auto hide doesn't help. Is there a way to downgrade?
