  1. 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.

  2. Multiple Flags (categories)

    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.

  4. 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?

  6. Email Search engine: search "from:mario", "from:xxx@mail.com"...

    As it is a standard on email clients, along the day we need to retrieve a communication from someone of from a subject. so usually we do a search using keywords, like "from: mario" and I will see all emails listed that were sent by mario, or I write "to:xxx" and I see all emails sent to xxx...or even by subject, "subject:xxx". and I can read all emails from xxx subject. this is key to work efficiently.

  7. 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.

  8. Marks emails as read when unread filter is on

    When filtering emails to unread and reading through them one by one, they are not marked as read. I think users should have the option as some like to manually mark emails as read while some like to go through their emails like a to do list. Moreover, there is no single click method to switch to unread emails. Some email readers have a separate folder, while others have the filter button. I like how it's done in the iOS canary app where upon pressing the filter it automatically goes to unread, but you get the temporary banner at the bottom where it shows you what is being filtered and you can change that by pressing "unread" or whatever category is selected. I strongly believe this is crucial in terms of workflow and productivity as it is quite annoying to have to either select emails to mark as read or do it one by one.

  9. Mail limit > 400

    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...

  10. 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.

  11. Set default fonts

    I want to set fixed default fonts in my program so I do not have to change in every outgoing mail.

  13. Mail Translator

    Hello! You have a very good application, an unusual idea, a lot of useful functions and I really like it! It would be great if your mail application could translate emails from one language to another (inside the application, not to switch to another application). I also noticed that many emails have borders, is it possible to stretch the text, reduce the indentation on the left and right so that it is convenient to read on the phone? Now in the mobile application, the text on the left and right recedes strongly from the edges of the screen, which is not easy to read.

  14. 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.

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