  1. Expend rules options

    The rules now are very disappointing. The options are very limited. Why every mail with the word "invoice" in the title cannot be filtered into a invoice folder. Etc Etc

  2. Multiple Flags (categories)

    I am an Independent Contractor and this would make Canary Mail a usable app for me. Apple Mail and MS Outlook allow the use of multiple colored flags (in Mac OS Mail) or Categories (in Outlook). This is an important feature for me to organize my mail across different projects/timelines. This is an important feature that I look for in any Mail App, please consider adding this feature to Canary Mail.

  3. search by folder and email

    Please provide us with an option to search only by folder. Example: If I want to search the sent box only for email xxx@gmail.com, I should be able to do that. As of now, we cannot do it as it is pulling results from all emails and all folders.

  4. Add individual mailboxes (folders) to the favourites

    With many other email clients, I have come to rely on being able to add specific folders (mailboxes) to a favourites list so I do not have to go drilling down into all my folders. This is especially useful if you use a sorting service (ex: SaneBox) that automatically sorts your mail in specific folders. But even if you do not have such a service, not having to expand any number of recursive folders to get to a specific one seems like a showstopper. Apple Mail, Spark, Airmail, etc, all have the ability to add folders to favourites. Cheers!

  5. Add support for local folders

    Not supporting local folders is a show-stopper. I myself have over 900,000 emails using over 70GB spread across 6 different email accounts. I only keep about one year worth of emails online over IMAP/O365, the rest is archived locally. At work, we're only allowed 15GB of space on our Exchange servers, so unless you're a new employee who just started, EVERYONE else has emails archived locally. This application is promising, but currently unusable for users who have years worth of emails.

  6. Add a button for translating incoming emails.

    It is easy to translate outgoing emails, but there is no option to translate incoming ones. Can you add this function?

  7. Apple’s Reminder integration

    Congrats re: integrations. This is game changer. Can we expect an integration with Apple’s Reminder anytime soon? Also, this would be awesome to have integrations options in swipes for quicker access/process. Best

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

  10. "βœ“ " Read receipts icon shown in message - with each email address separately.

    Please add "βœ“ Read" in the correspondence window next to each email address (To: - Cc: - Bcc: ) separately.

  11. Persona for AI Copilot

    Make it possible to personalize the AI Copilot by customizing its name, role, and the rules and instructions it follows. For example, you can create the following rule: Your name is Jon. You are a professional Financial Advisor. Start your response with a friendly greeting using the recipient's name (e.g., "Hi [Name],").Thank them for their inquiry (e.g., "Thank you for reaching out about your investments.").Provide tailored financial insights related to their specific questions, referencing the knowledge base for accurate information.Invite further questions (e.g., "Feel free to ask if you need more assistance.").End with a professional sign-off (e.g., "Best regards, Jon").

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

  15. 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.
