> Does M3 support carddav properly?

No. This would actually be a pretty killer feature, and if they've implemented sync properly(?) maybe that's something they'll add in the future.

> Also, can I add multiple mail accounts easily?

Yes. I've had no issues here, although I've been using IMAP rather than POP3 for the interim while I decide how well it's going to work for me. (On the other hand, I haven't been back on M2 for several months, so maybe it's time for the switch?)

> Are mails part of Vivaldi sync?

No. Contacts make sense to me, but mail across sync would be basically implementing IMAP for sync purposes, right?

There are things still missing:

* mail import for those of us who still prefer POP to IMAP and have a ton of emails on our system

* highlight-to-quote

* more configurable keyboard shortcuts

* default bottom-quoting

* tighter calendar integration

But on the balance, it's a pretty decent client. I'll look forward to improvements as they have time to commit, but working it into Chromium has been a much more significant challenge than they originally anticipated. The devs/testers talked often about it not being ready for prime time, but I think that had much more to do with the extension development than it did with protocols (for example). I would also suspect that they're significantly understaffed compared to other teams.

And, to be honest, I doubt there's really even a big market for mail clients these days at all: we're mostly on Gmail or Outlook or some other web-based IMAP with integration across all devices. In-browser mail clients without some kind of super-sync feature ... just aren't likely to gain any traction.
