I have one email on the server. So, not big.

I got my thumbdrive for LinuxMint and started it up. I installed Vivaldi on that and tried Mail with that same mail account. No excess CPU use. Status showed a problem with the database and a disconnect from the mail account. I restarted Vivaldi and the mail ran like a champ.

If you want me to try anything else, I'll be happy to try. But I'm not all that needy of the Mail, so no need to solve this for me right now.

Your interest is really appreciated and the Vivaldi product with tiling has been a game changer for what I can do one of the things I do with my time.

I'll get back on this later when I can run it and look at the status bar. Also get the info on how much mail.

I did turn prefetching off which put CPU down to around 100%--not much drop.

I have a pretty new disk.

CPU:
Info: quad core model: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 bits: 64 type: MT MCP smt: enabled

That was why I removed big accounts. I don't know what prefetching is. I'll look into that, but I'm sure I did not do it.

Okay. I tried running Mail and CPU went to 110% for a couple minutes with an account with very little mail on it. I set it back to no mail, the CPU did not go back to normal until stopped Vivaldi. On restart it is normal again. Here is what I have in About:

I do have the latest and will give it a try later after my coffee does its magic! Thanks, Jon.

I run Linux Mint, too. I haven't been able to run Mail/RSS on Vivaldi, because the cpu usage goes sky high and doesn't stop. I tried it on an email address I have with very little mail on the server and it still did this. I'm surprised to hear another Mint user enjoying it.
