One of the perks of having a mail client in the browser is that you can quickly share interesting content you’ve found online via email.

To send a link or a snippet of text you’ve found on a web page:

1. Make sure you have Vivaldi Mail enabled and you’ve added your email account to it.
   If not, go to Settings > Mail to set things up.
2. On a web page, right-click on the link or selected text you want to share.
   To send the link of the current web page you’re on, right-click on an empty area of the page.
3. Select “Send (Link) by Mail”.
4. In the email editor tab that opens, fill out the relevant fields, and add more context to the email.
5. Click “Send”.

If you temporarily want to stop receiving messages for a mail account, but don’t want to remove the account from Vivaldi Mail altogether, you can enable offline mode.

To take a mail account offline:

1. Go to Settings > Mail > Mail accounts.
2. Select the account.
3. In Identity settings, enable “Take Account Offline”.

You’ll still be able to send messages from the account, but won’t receive any new incoming messages until you turn off the setting.

In Vivaldi Mail, Outbox is a sub-folder in All Messages, where you can store message drafts that you’ve finished writing, but don’t want to send just yet.

To queue emails instead of sending:

1. In the Mail Composer, click the little arrow (▼) next to the “Send” button.
2. Select “Queue”.
3. When you’re done writing an email click the “Queue” button (previously “Send”).

To send all emails in the Outbox.

1. Open the Mail Panel.
2. Click “Send from all accounts” at the top of the panel.

When you open an email in Vivaldi Mail it’s downloaded to your computer. You can also enable a setting that downloads all your mail even when you haven’t opened the emails yet (see Tip #59). All downloaded emails are stored as .eml files in your browser profile.

To locate the folder with your mail:

1. Go to Settings > Mail > Mail Accounts.
2. Right-click on an account.
3. Select “Reveal Data Folder”.

It’ll open the folder in the browser with your emails neatly organized by date, but you can copy the folder path (e.g. C:\Users\…) and open your mail folder in a File Manager/Finder instead.

Whether you prefer the classic white background with black text or want the mail composer to match browser Themes, you have a choice in Vivaldi Mail.

To make the composer use your theme’s colors:

1. Go to Settings > Mail > Mail Settings > Composer Colors.
2. Enable Inherit Theme Colors.

The setting doesn’t affect the color of sent messages.

With endless emails flooding your mailbox, moving messages to dedicated folders, assigning flags and labels to them, and marking tackled messages as read helps to keep things neat and easy to find later. Working with messages using the right-click context menus or shortcuts are excellent ways to manage your messages, but since Vivaldi 6.0 a quick drag and drop can get things done as well.

To move a message, change its read state or assign a property to it:

1. Click and hold down the left mouse button on the message you want to move.
2. Drag the message to the desired view in the Mail Panel.
3. Release the left mouse button to finish the action.

Having to go through each message and manually assign relevant flags and labels to them, or mark annoying messages as spam can be cumbersome. To speed up the process, set up Filters in Vivaldi Mail that do it for you.

To create Filters in Vivaldi Mail:

1. Go to Settings > Mail > Mail Filters and Actions.
2. Click on Add Mail Filter.
3. Give the filter a name
4. Define the criteria for filtering.
5. Click Add to Search.
6. Click Add Action and decide what should happen to the messages that match the filter criteria.
7. Click Add Mail Filter.

If you use Vivaldi Webmail, you can create additional filters on the server by going to Filter settings in the web interface. See Tip #75 for more info.
