  1. 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...

  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?

  3. Set up Reminder to Follow up an Email

    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

  4. 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}

  5. Real time sync

    Spark syncs in real time. Canary doesn't. Spark performs despite how many connections I am running. Canary starts failing if I open one more mail software, besides Canary. Do you have plans to fix it? It's also quite crazy that checking new email at times takes a couple of minutes. After sending out an email to myself I can see that the unread email number next to the Inbox changes, but the new email doesn't show up in the mailbox. That's really poor product stability.

  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. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. Run filter after creation / on demand + more options

    At the moment, it seems like a filter will only apply to new emails, not existing ones. It would be a good thing to have an option to run a filter after creation / on-demand. I think that's a quite common procedure. In addition, it would be elegant, to offer more criteria, i.E. Apple Mail solved it quite nicely. Duplicating filters and existing ones is a bit messy.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. Disable the calendar or use the system default

    It would be nice to be able to disable the integrated calendar to instead use the system default calendar.

  15. 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.
