Feature Ideas

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?

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.

possibility to write mails with Apple intelligence or ChatGPT instead of copilot. Be able to choose

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

Have the ability to choose amongst different colour flags to help organize emails into various groups

🤟🏻 Hi Change the possibility of changing the font size to the same system as macOS. This is the same case with font selection.

The ability to have different color stars/flags would be amazing. Also, the size of the current star is not very prominent. I use these to indicate emails that are either highly important or something I need to revisit/follow up on later. One other idea I like would be to show email messages in threads as they would appear in a text message conversation vs the traditional in-line way of showing everything. This would be both in the actual email itself as well as in the messages area where you would see the original email and then connect them to subsequent responses as a separate item (like a folder (original message) with subfolders (responses thereafter), if that makes sense) Aside from that, I am loving your app -- thank you!

Many people cannot view HEIC files when I include them in emails. It takes too much time to manually convert. I believe the iPad Mail program does it because I’ve never had a problem before.

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...

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.

Many service provider (including EM Client, Super Human & Outlook) have this feature of creating direct meeting link from calendar. Please integrate the same.

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").

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.

Leveraging the AI for natural language search of emails could be an incredibly useful and unique feature for Canary. It would enhance the search from a basic plaintext to a more comprehensive search like, "Find the email thread with Bill, where we discuss the pricing of Project ABC, don't show me threads that include Timothy"

When one's email is set to primary and another email comes and goes to let's say social, there is no way to know it went in that category. You either have to go through all the categories or click on "all." Maybe highlight the category which it arrived?
