  2. Add an "Unsubscribe" shortcut

    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.

  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?

  4. 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?

  6. 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.

  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. Add emoji reactions

    Emoji reactions are useful for email because they make communication quicker and clearer. Why they are useful Save time: A 👍 or ✅ can replace a full reply. Reduce inbox clutter: Fewer short “Thanks” or “Seen” emails. Show tone: Emojis help show appreciation, agreement, or urgency. Encourage engagement: People are more likely to respond when it is easy. Match modern work habits: Similar to Teams or Slack, which many people already use. Why email providers should have them Email feels slow compared to chat tools. Reactions would modernise it. They support async work across time zones. They improve accessibility for quick feedback. They help teams acknowledge messages without interrupting workflow. In short, emoji reactions make email faster, lighter, and more human while keeping it professional when used well.

  9. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Hide email accounts from unified inbox

    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)

  15. Display unread emails count on the mailbox list on the left

    I have many email accounts for my different jobs and also personal, so I have the list collapsed so that it does not take much space. It would be great having the number there so I can expand if required and have a quick glance of which account needs attention and which not.
