  2. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  8. 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.

  9. Apple Reminders integration

    A simple “Create Reminder from Email” would be awesome. I’d even settle for a Shortcuts integration where I could just forward an email to a specific address and it create a Reminder for me.

  10. Configure folders to notify users of new incoming emails.

    Need a feature that enables to designate priority folders for immediate notifications. Additionally, all folders should display the count of new emails next to their names. Currently, a folder updates with new emails only when I manually click on it. For instance, I have a folder labeled 'Invoices.' It's crucial for me to be notified immediately when a new invoice arrives, so I can attend to bill payments promptly. At present, I must repeatedly check this folder throughout the day to see if there are any new emails. While I appreciate the capabilities of Canary Mail, I require a similar basic functionality too. Summary: Display the count of new emails for all subfolders. Allow enabling notifications for selected folders, similar to the main folder's notification functionality.

  12. Set Reminder When Composing/Sending Emails

    Set reminder while composing/sending an email, as available in Spark. This function is essential for my workflow, as it allows to plan follow-ups at the moment of sending rather than having to go back afterwards. I hope this could be considered

  13. Native Biometric App Lock (Touch ID / PIN) for macOS

    The Request: 1). Native App Lock: Enable a PIN or Touch ID lock specifically for the Canary app on Mac. 2). Inactivity Timer: Add a setting to auto-lock the app after a set period of inactivity (e.g., 1, 2, or 5 minutes). Currently, Canary Mail on macOS lacks a native, timer-based app lock. While the iOS version can be secured via system settings, the desktop app remains "always open" unless the entire computer is locked. The Problem: For users in coffee shops, shared offices, or public spaces, this is a significant security gap. If a device is snatched or left unattended for even a minute, an unauthorized person has full access to the inbox. Since nowadays our email accounts act as the "master key" for password resets and sensitive data across almost all other digital services, this vulnerability puts a user's entire digital identity at risk. Privacy First: This would bring the Mac experience in line with high-security standards and protect the most sensitive app on our computers.

  14. 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?

  15. 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.
