Feature Ideas

Hi there, Thank you for your question—this is a great idea and understandably useful! At the moment, Canary Mail does not offer a built-in option to copy or generate deep links (like the canary://message/... format) directly from within the app. Those links are created automatically through integrations such as Todoist, Asana, and others, to allow quick access to specific messages. If having quick-click links to individual emails is important for your workflow, I’d encourage you to submit this idea as a feature request. Our team monitors user feedback closely when considering future updates. You can share your request here: Submit a Feature Request Best regards, Shivee Canary Mail Support Team

Email clients are increasingly integrated into productivity workflows. In this sense, integration with third-party applications has become essential. According to the GTD method, a piece of information, i.e. an email, must be able to be converted into a task if actionable, or into a reference if not. Integration with Things 3 and Bear is therefore extremely important (task -> Things, reference -> Bear). This is one of the features that sets Spark apart from Canary. Fly, Canary, fly!

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?

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.

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

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

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

Want option to be able to read individual emails full-screen on iPad (like on iPhone) vs. split-screen with the list of emails. Long, text-heavy emails hard to read on iPad half-screen, especially b/c no apparent way to adjust font size. I'm trying out Canary as Spark alternative and liking what I see so far...but if not fixed, this may be a deal-breaker.

I use a Chromebook and a Steam Deck, I would LOVE to see a Linux version that could be installed. Something like a .deb file kind of like how Microsoft edge does it. I love the app on all my other devices!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

Canary Mail has the option to organize emails by thread, but currently it sorts threads with the newest message on top. It's a matter of personal preference, but many people prefer to have threads in chronological (rather than reverse-chronological) order. It would be nice to have a toggle switch for this in preferences. If there are multiple unread messages in a thread, it's a lot more intuitive to be able to read straight through (vs. reading each message top to bottom but then jumping up to the next message).

Groups are a super efficient way to send mail to regular groups of people, teams, family, etc.
