  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. 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?

  3. Images in Email Signature

    For "Pro" users that may use an email client for business, adding a logo or image to their email signature is absolutely imperative. Canary Mail is extremely feature-rich and almost perfect except missing this one very useful feature.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Format - font size and font type in message

    🤟🏻 Hi Change the possibility of changing the font size to the same system as macOS. This is the same case with font selection.

  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. Add option to filter out deleted or junk mail in a search

    It would be nice to filter out the trash and junk mail when doing a search. Otherwise when you clean up you get errors about elements no longer in collection.

  10. Signature option / new message only

    Allowing you to set signatures appearance for new mail only and not reply and / or forward. Having signatures in every single message gives a cluttered look.

  13. Remove signature from replies.

    Simple option to remove signatures from replies instead of me cancelling it every time. All email apps have such feature. Shouldn’t be to complicated.

  14. Email signature only show up for new emails not replies

    It would be helpful to be able to only use signatures on new emails so that people don't get inundated and emails are not super long because of having to include lots of signatures everywhere. It would save a ton of time because doing it manually really adds up.

  15. Ability to update contacts and Favorites

    It’s relatively easy and straightforward to add someone to Favorites (the panel that appears in the left-hand column), after they’ve sent an email, but difficult to manually edit a contact, or to remove someone from favorites. It would be great to be able to customize people’s names, add personal/work emails or phone numbers, and add or remove them from the Favorites list.
