  1. 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?

  3. Drag&Drop attachments

    Drag&Drop attachments from received messages and into the sent messages window. Please implement the ability to copy files from received messages (PDF,jpg,etc). It is very inconvenient that you have to save attachments to disk first and then you can copy it.

  4. 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.

  5. 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...

  6. "✓ " Read receipts icon shown in message - with each email address separately.

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

  7. Real time sync

    Spark syncs in real time. Canary doesn't. Spark performs despite how many connections I am running. Canary starts failing if I open one more mail software, besides Canary. Do you have plans to fix it? It's also quite crazy that checking new email at times takes a couple of minutes. After sending out an email to myself I can see that the unread email number next to the Inbox changes, but the new email doesn't show up in the mailbox. That's really poor product stability.

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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. transform emails into tasks

    would be awesome to have this feature integrated with the calendar, to improve productivity. If too complicated for developing, allowing the integration with a task tool like meistertask or any other would be excellent.

  14. Set default fonts

    I want to set fixed default fonts in my program so I do not have to change in every outgoing mail.

  15. Start refreshing in the backround

    I'm not sure why this hasn't been addressed, but here goes: I have two email addresses set up on my Canary client and put them into a single unfiled inbox. It's a simple setup, and that's all I need. Now when I go into the app it shows me all my email that's been previously downloaded and then searches for new email. Takes a good 30 seconds to refresh each time. OK, fine, probably not the best way to do it, but OK. When I get a notification that I have a new email and click on the notification to read the email, Canary opens up and searches for a new email before showing me the new one. Why? Why didn't Canery download all the new email headers and content in the background so that when I click on the notification it can immediately go into the email without having to check both email accounts which takes about 30 seconds? Wasting a lot of time. If I have several email notifications overnight, and I clear them all and just go into the Canary app, Canary then takes 30 seconds to go and refresh the email accounts (again why it's not already been done in the background is kinda crazy) it then also throws up all the notifications again telling me I've got new email (which I just cleared) that I already know about. Can this please be fixed?
