  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. Make canary smarter like Spark mail

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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. "✓ " 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.

  8. 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").

  9. 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!

  11. 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).

  12. Inbox Zero - background images

    Hello I really like the functionality - Inbox Zero But please give the option to switch off those disgusting pictures that are displayed, give the user the possibility to adjust them, e.g. the colour. Personally, I can't look at these disgusting pictures.

  14. Expand rules options

    The rules now are very disappointing. The options are very limited. Why every mail with the word "invoice" in the title cannot be filtered into a invoice folder. EtcEtc

  15. Remove red PRO Status Banner

    At the end of the trial period, if decided not to upgrade,the red banner promoting PRO should disappear from the side menu.
