Feature Ideas

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.

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?

When filtering emails to unread and reading through them one by one, they are not marked as read. I think users should have the option as some like to manually mark emails as read while some like to go through their emails like a to do list. Moreover, there is no single click method to switch to unread emails. Some email readers have a separate folder, while others have the filter button. I like how it's done in the iOS canary app where upon pressing the filter it automatically goes to unread, but you get the temporary banner at the bottom where it shows you what is being filtered and you can change that by pressing "unread" or whatever category is selected. I strongly believe this is crucial in terms of workflow and productivity as it is quite annoying to have to either select emails to mark as read or do it one by one.

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.

I have multiple accounts that I use mostly for spam and registering for accounts I'm not gonna use much - I don't want to see their emails in my main inbox as they're usually not what I'm interested in, but I'd still like quick access to them (which is why I have them added in Canary)

Kindly Introduce or enhance the Signature editor by adding advanced tools for logo resizing and text color customization

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.

Hello I really like the functionality - Inbox Zero But please give the option to switch off those disgusting pictures that are displayed, give the user the possibility to adjust them, e.g. the colour. Personally, I can't look at these disgusting pictures.

In my professional capacity, I utilize email as a primary communication tool to connect with clients. However, I find the simple formatting capabilities of Canary Mail to be cumbersome. They lag in comparison to other email clients available in the market. It would be great if those tools could be improved. Thank you.

For some reason there's no "Unsubscribe" option in the "Messages" menu for Canary. (See "Canary Messages Menu" screenshot attached) Also, under Settings > General > Shortcuts there is no option to set a shortcut for "Unsubscribe" (See "Canary Settings - Shortcuts" screenshot attached) Please add this feature as it will make it so much quicker/easier to Unsubscribe. When I'm working through emails, I have the "E" key set to "Archive" and the "W" key set to "Delete" and I would like to just as easily hit a key with my left hand, instead of having to use the trackpad/mouse to go click the triple dot menu, and then hit the "Unsubscribe" link.

I often find myself needing to create an event and having to manually copy some of the context of an email to the notes of the event or to attach the same attachments as the received email has. Let’s say I bought movie tickets for my family and would like to create a family event in a shared calendar with the time, place and PDFs of the tickets in the calendar event attachments. It would be awesome to auto-magically glean the time, place, duration of the event from the context of the email, but most of all i would love not to have to download the attachments only to attach them to the calendar event.

When selecting multiple mails, and right clicking on the mail them, there should be the possibility to select forward. This should then create a new blank email, with all selected emails as attachments in the new mail.

You can set it up for mails with the condition that only sends you a reminder if they dont replay or send a reminder even if they replay

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.
