it also has no webmail, so you need vivaldi browser or 3rd party email client to view the email
Comments and Reviews
There is little to recommend Vivaldi Mail at the moment other than:
This, added to their stricter-than-industry-standard privacy policy is all good stuff. It means your emails aren't being trawled for private data that the parent company can sell for profit, as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft do. (If you don't realise it, realise it now: those services sell YOU and your privacy as a product to advertisers. You should quit them for that reason alone.)
But... if you're in the market for an email service that is more mature in security and privacy-respecting, check out Mailbox.org, Protonmail and/or Tutanota.
If you create a blog on their site and it violates their terms of service you also lose access to your Vivaldi e-mail. Not cool. Do not recommend. Use Protonmail.
Solution: don't create a blog that violates their terms of service.

It has always had webmail: https://webmail.vivaldi.net
And the recovery email is a reasonable security feature.

2022 update: all the above still true. can create an email without a phone number but then to LOG IN to the email you need to provide a phone number. this isn't indicated on their signup page which is a weird choice. tricky.

*REQUIRES 12 letters and numbers for your password
This is a good thing. More secure.
*REQUIRES your mobile number to get an email
No longer true. Phone number verification used to be the only way to get access to a Mail account, put in place to limit Spam account creation. However, since 2023 they have implemented a reputation system that replaces phone number verification.
*REQUIRES a previous email to send verification
This is a security feature, and there's wisdom in having a backup email account. But you can get around the initial sign-up using a temporary mail service.
