  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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Modify Contacts

    Sometime, the name may be misspelled, but no way to change it.

  6. 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.

  7. Persona for AI Copilot

    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").

  8. Customize categories

    The categories cannot currently be customized, which is why they are useless. In order to use the feature, I need to be able to change the automatically assigned mails accordingly. It should also be possible to customize the categories (remove & add). Currently, all my mails are assigned to "Personal", even though I have a lot of business mails in my mailbox!

  9. More prominent account colors within “Inbox-All”

    I’d like to request more visible and prominent colors to be seen when viewing the Inbox-All folder. As it stands now it can be difficult to view the exact color using mobile which disrupts workflow. Also, a possibility to choose our own colors using hex code, or a selection of more contrasting colors will help especially with users who have multiple accounts. The options for colors at the moment are limited and are too close visually to each other and the issue is compounded with the account color being too small to comfortably see. Much appreciated!

  10. Ability to create MS Teams & Google Meet online meeting invite directly from calendar

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

  11. Knowledge Base for AI Copilot

    As a small business owner, you often get the same questions from potential clients. It would be great to create a personal Knowledge Base for AI Copilot, so AI can pull up useful information from that base and include it in response emails. Here are some common questions for a Financial Advisor: What are your hours and contact number?What services do you offer to help manage my finances?How do you charge for your services? Is it a flat fee, hourly rate, or commission-based?How can you help me with retirement planning? Of course, you can spend hours crafting personalized responses to each question for every client. But why not let the AI Copilot do this for you? It can easily pull the information from the Knowledge Base you set up with your own notes, text files, etc. Meanwhile, you can focus on what you do best—making money!

  12. 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.

  13. Variables for Templates

    Would be awesome if templates could have Variables where it can pull from data like a contact name or email so if you made a template like this Hi {FirstName} Would love to connect here is my calendar {Calendly Link} {Signature}

  14. Full-screen message viewing on iPad

    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.

  15. Organize Threads (Conversations) Chronologically or Reverse-Chronologically

    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).
