  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. 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.

  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. Drag&Drop attachments

    Drag&Drop attachments from received messages and into the sent messages window. Please implement the ability to copy files from received messages (PDF,jpg,etc). It is very inconvenient that you have to save attachments to disk first and then you can copy it.

  5. 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...

  6. Appleโ€™s Reminder integration

    Congrats re: integrations. This is game changer. Can we expect an integration with Appleโ€™s Reminder anytime soon? Also, this would be awesome to have integrations options in swipes for quicker access/process. Best

  7. Add an "Unsubscribe" shortcut

    For some reason there's no "Unsubscribe" option in the "Messages" menu for Canary. (See "Canary Messages Menu" screenshot attached) Also, under Settings > General > Shortcuts there is no option to set a shortcut for "Unsubscribe" (See "Canary Settings - Shortcuts" screenshot attached) Please add this feature as it will make it so much quicker/easier to Unsubscribe. When I'm working through emails, I have the "E" key set to "Archive" and the "W" key set to "Delete" and I would like to just as easily hit a key with my left hand, instead of having to use the trackpad/mouse to go click the triple dot menu, and then hit the "Unsubscribe" link.

  8. "โœ“ " Read receipts icon shown in message - with each email address separately.

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

  9. Make canary smarter like Spark mail

    To divided mails at the top the mail box, and pins and seen, itโ€™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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. transform emails into tasks

    would be awesome to have this feature integrated with the calendar, to improve productivity. If too complicated for developing, allowing the integration with a task tool like meistertask or any other would be excellent.

  14. Calendar View - Change first day of the week

    I would like to request the possibility to change the default first day of the week in the calendar view. Currently, it is set to Sunday, but in Europe, it is typically Monday. Unfortunately, I cannot find an option to change this in the app settings.

  15. Canary AI should be able to identfy tasks and add them to calendar or reminders

    AI responses often lack a personal touch, and the tone is not quite right. However, if the AI feature could identify tasks and deadlines and allow users to assign dates to save time, drafting these tasks and importing them into reminders or a calendar would help users stay organized and on track.
