Canary Mail Reviews

Canary Mail is exactly what i want it to be. Although it advertises itself as an AI superpowered email client, it also doesnt force you to use those features. It's a solid email client that does the basics nearly perfectly, which most clients don't. Most clients try and sell you on their innovation but cant get the basics right; Canary is not like the others.

The only thing i can even slightly moan about is folder organisation. Like Spark it makes you create new folders in the depths of account settings, instead of the sidebar; and if your old school like me it can be a bit of a faff to move your email to the right folder. That being said, its by no means a dealbreaker. It gets everything else right.

With its features 'Delay Sending' and 'Email Snoozing', I find it a real breeze to keep on top of emails from my clients and prioritise emails at exactly the right time. This is vital in any business use of this app.

Easy to use application, read receipts, templates, pictures resizing....

Inbox should include sent messages and a sorting by 'last email' received or sent

Read receipts and templates

I use this with multiple Gmail accounts, one being a workspace account and the other being personal. It has mede managing them very easy from multiple Apple platforms as everything is synced via Canary. It has a very clean interface that allows for easy management of the incoming emails.

I have not found anyhting that I dislike for the type of user I am.

Managing multiple Gmail accounts from a single app.

Robust email management, label/folder management

No antialiasing of images on non-retina screens

I was a happy user of Spark until they started all over again with their new Spark Desktop. I went through a whole iteration of email clients, from Newton to Postbox, from Apple Mail (+Butler) to Mailspring, from Airmail to you-name-it. I found it annoying that while each email client has some advantages, each client also had disadvantages that made working with them problematic. Each client managed to be an obstacle rather than a ueful tool. Mailspring probably came close. Spark forces you to do mail their way, with difficult access to folders and labels and forcing you to compose new emails in the main window. Postbox is awkward in terms of rendering html. Apple Mail refuses to offer a good snooze function. Airmail and Newton are basically half-finished pieces of software that cannot be considered fully functional. I didn't mention Edison, which, like Mailspring does a good job. And Outlook refuses to work with Gmail labels.

What I like about Canary is that it offers all the good points of the above mentioned emails clients and none of the disadvantages. Robust snoozing, sending and deleting delays, Send later.... all the bells and whistles. It also gives perfect access to labels and folders. There are two ways of highlighting important emails: (1) you can favorite senders/domains (2) you can pin emails for follow up. Pinned emails can be collapsed so new emails to appear within sight.

The reason why I initially overlooked Canary is that it appeared to not render logo's and graphic ux elements correctly. Turns out antialiasing isnt perfect on non-retina screens. Once I realized this, I was able to get oer that. Now I'm hooked.

I find that security and adding labels to my emails in real time very useful.

I want to find all emails from any given sender more easily. Some apps use a "target" icon to search for emails from the selected sender.

Labelling my emails keeps me organised

AI becomes a real adjunct to the efficient management of modern email

Lack of integrations to productivity tools to streamline workflow such as reminders, things 3, Apple Notes

Efficient and professional correspondence and dealing with actions arising

Buttons for spam, delete, attach, are all quick single taps. Communication with the app letting you know emails have been read and sent is innovative and appreciated. Didn't think I needed that but it's great.

I really can't think of any downsides, even when comparing it to other services. Maybe the only thing is that because it's not Microsoft or Google you don't have that automatic integration.

Other email apps are clunking in flagging things as spam and can be over complicated with options. Canary has all the same options, but somehow the layout and shortcuts just work better. The screen almost seems bigger when using Canary because of their layout.

Canary Mail's AI mail reply feature is a game-changer. I'm a doctor by profession and trust me when I say I get a lot of mails from patients with queries. Some times it take time to respond to all mails. Canary mail learns from your communication patterns, suggesting responses that are relevant, precise, save time and maintain your personal style. It respects your privacy and offers efficiency without sacrificing authenticity. Experience the future of email with Canary Mail.

Honestly, I am overwhelmed and loving the experience of using this app. I'm yet to find anything that I dislike about this app. Will update if I find anything.

Helps communicating with patients so much easier. Saves so much time doing that. Also, those mails are better worded by the AI assistant than what I would normally write.

Canary offers all the functions that I'm looking for in terms of email management. My email management need is from a blend of professional full-time work, part-time advising/freelance work, and personal life. It helps me organize all my emails coming from multiple accounts well and keep me stay on top of my communication facing various shareholders. The platform is extremely intuitive to use and syncs fast across multiple devices. Its beautiful and native to Apple UI also suits my need of looking for a platform that is aesthically pleasing.

I wouldn't say this is something I dislike about Canary, but there are certain features I didn't find super helpful based on my current need, and I'm still ramping up on the AI feature.

Efficient email management, fast and organized communication across multiple email accounts.

I'm obsessed with the AI writing tool--I cut my email response time in half with this app.

I'd love to see the app have a more robust set of tone features so that I can change the way I write based on the tone required

Canary Mail sorts my emails, helps me make sure I don't miss the really important ones, and helps me qickly reply.
