Canary Mail - Email, meet AI Reviews

Great for my needs

RockyCarr

I switched to Canary Mail from another very popular email client because of security concerns. So far, it works great and meets all of my needs. The only feature I wish it had was the ability to automatically mark an email as read after viewing it. Manually marking messages as read is time consuming. Yes, I know I can do a bulk Mark as Read, but I’d rather have the option for it to be done automatically.

New to Canary

Nice interface but freezes a lot and needs to be restarted. Perhaps this will be fixed with an update soon. ?

Use this instead of gmail

It does everything gmail does but better and you can other than gmail account. It also privacy focused so google don’t sell your information.

Was great, but then became unreliable

I’ve been using Canary on all my devices -iPad, iPhone, MBP- and it was pretty great for a while, and while it’s had some quirks -for example, auto-select behavior is different between all the devices (and I prefer the iPad’s behavior where it’ll only add items as I scroll down, and will not re-select items I de-selected), and magic keyboard support on iPad disappears if you visit a link (and have to close and reopen the app to get it back)- it was still a decent e-mail client. However at some point in the last few weeks, it’s become unreliable. It takes too long to load emails (especially on my iPhone 12 Pro) to where I’ll wait almost a whole minute between clicking on a notification and the email finally loading. On top of that, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t always archive or delete emails: they’ll disappear from my email list on Canary, but upon closing/reopening the app (something I have to do to get keyboard support back on the iPad) a lot of the emails are back, and there doesn’t seem to be rhyme or reason. I hope these issues get fixed, because mass-deletion of e-mails is what truly sets this app apart.

Good app, but misinformation from staff

I used the trial the Mac app and I loved it, so I downloaded the iOS version as well. After receiving an email from someone in the customer support dept., where they specifically told me that if I purchase the PRO version for the Mac app, I would be able to unlock the PRO version for iOS as well. Besides that misunderstanding this is personally the best mail app I have used for Mac and iOS.
