  1. Variables for Templates

    Would be awesome if templates could have Variables where it can pull from data like a contact name or email so if you made a template like this Hi {FirstName} Would love to connect here is my calendar {Calendly Link} {Signature}

  2. Mail limit > 400

    Just found out the Canary Mail only shows the last 400 mails per account... I really think this a no-go (at least for the desktop app), so I want at least an option to see/download/cache all mails to my computer...

  3. Sorting emails by sender

    Sorting emails by sender is, own my opinion, a basic function of every email client. It helps to sort through emails quickly and clear unwanted emails or move them to folders. I find it amazing that Canary Mail does not have this feature. It is also noted that Canary Mail's own website promotes sorting emails by sender (https://canarymail.io/blog/manage-and-organize-emails/): 'Group by the sender: Another way to organize your inbox is by grouping messages from specific senders together. This can be particularly useful if you work with a lot of different people and want to quickly find messages from a particular colleague or client.' So, why is this function not there?

  5. Email Search engine: search "from:mario", "from:xxx@mail.com"...

    As it is a standard on email clients, along the day we need to retrieve a communication from someone of from a subject. so usually we do a search using keywords, like "from: mario" and I will see all emails listed that were sent by mario, or I write "to:xxx" and I see all emails sent to xxx...or even by subject, "subject:xxx". and I can read all emails from xxx subject. this is key to work efficiently.

  7. Make canary smarter like Spark mail

    To divided mails at the top the mail box, and pins and seen, it’s easy to check the mails, also show the numbers of the inbox and pins each at the bottom of the mail, please refer to Spark.

  8. Account Colour Prominence

    Showing account colours only adds a very thin bar the the side of the email in the inbox. It doesn’t really help that much. I’d like to see this bar a bit bigger and in the left hand side next to the avatar to increase visibility.

  9. Show Full Email Addresses for Phishing Protection

    To help combat phishing, I would like to have full email address visible all the time, not just the "friendly name". It's too easy to be lulled into a sense of security without seeing the full email address.

  10. Option to Paste without formatting (cmd + shift + v) or 'clear formatting' option

    It's impossible to copy something from a page and paste it inside a canary mail. cmd+shift+v which should paste and remove formatting doesn't work. By right clicking there's no "clear formatting" option.

  11. Will you make a Linux vertion of this wonderful email program?

    There are many people using Linux, it would be convenient to have the crossover, between say, android and Linux, as there is with Windows and Canary mail.

  13. Out of Office Responder

    Out of office replies would be very useful when OOO. This is an important feature for those using Canary for work.

  14. Add S/MIME support

    Signing and encrypting e-mails using S/MIME is common practice in the business world. So in order to get useful in a business environment, an e-mail client should support S/MIME.

  15. Remove forced 5-seconds delay before sending

    As simple, as in the title. This feature is definitely only for a small part of users - should be an option I can turn off. Actually it should be opt-in option. Probably there’s a product manager that tries to put themself in users shoes, to figure out what is valuable, and what will be unpleasant/unused/distracting/difficult. It can be copying features from other leading software, it can be adventurous new ideas to test them in battlefield. This time it looks like you took the “Undo” link from Google, that appears AFTER I finished interaction with the Gmail interface, and transformed it in an obstruction. I’d understand it if there would be an ad in the background, but I’m am staring at my inbox without move - if I close the app, the mail won’t be sent. It will send immediately when I open the app again.
