Set up Vivaldi Mail

Vivaldi is a web browser that can be downloaded for free on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Vivaldi Mail is Vivaldi's built-in mail client, allowing you to keep your mail folders in sidebar view while browsing the web.

Vivaldi Mail needs its own app password to access your information. If you use your normal password or your Fastmail two step verification password in Vivaldi Mail, syncing won't work and you will see a password error.

How to set up Vivaldi Mail

The easiest way to set up your Fastmail account in Vivaldi Mail is using OAuth.

  2. Port: 993
  3. Username: Your full Fastmail username, including the domain.
  4. Password: Your Vivaldi Mail app password. (What is an app password?)
  5. Outgoing Server: smtp.fastmail.com
  6. Port: 465

  8. Password: The same Vivaldi Mail app password entered previously.
Once your account has been added, you can edit your sender name, signature, and other mail settings from the same window.
