Love canary Mail. The privacy focus,the native apps, open source ethos,the gorgeous design. Only thing missing to get rid of the bad guys (Google's Gmail on this case) is JMAP support. I appreciate that JMAP is still a young standard, but decent push notifications, fast indexing etc really is a huge selling point. JMAP is the alternative to Gmail's proprietary APIs and is love to see support in canary. In the meantime I ended up settling for canary on my Mac and the Fastmail clients on ios and Android. Best both worlds.

@jonashaefele Thanks for the feedback, Jonas! JMAP holds a lot of promise and we're following its progress with keen interest. Is there anything specific you wish Canary for Android / iOS had, other than JMAP support?

@sohelsanghani thanks ! Love what you do with canary. It just feels a bit slow, especially on mobile. Loading the inbox even With just 20 messages takes a while. Somehow it feels less obvious on mac. Guess it's because on Mac the app runs all the time and on mobile only when open. The slow update probably isn't Canary's fault, but just the slow imap protocol. Hence the idea/request to support JMAP. It just loads everything so much faster. I'll keep trying the mobile apps. And loving the Mac one. It's my daily driver now. On iOS btw, somehow hitting the default "email" icon on the sharing sheet still opens the Apple Mail app despite setting Canary as my default. But that might just be Apple aggressively pushing their own app.

@bcye it's spearheaded by the folks at @Fastmail but an open standard. Developed to be an open alternative to proprietary APIs like the one Gmail uses. Lots of clients implement the Gmail api on top of IMAP but that only works with one provider JMAP could offer the same modern experience for all mail providers. https://jmap.io/

Hey everyone 👋 If the uproar around WhatsApp’s new privacy policy has one bright spot, its that there’s superb privacy-friendly alternatives for chat, such as Signal. The idea behind Canary is simple - to be Signal for email, ie, a privacy-friendly alternative to your favorite email app, that offers a simple design and powerful feature-set. Let’s dig a little deeper. First, what exactly do we mean by privacy-friendly? 🔐 Easy-to-use end-to-end encryption (PGP / OpenPGP / GPG compatible) 📱 Local database encryption 👉 Biometric app lock 🔔 Option to choose between instant server-based Push or secure on-device Fetch notifications 📂 Built using open source libraries wherever possible, including for encryption (Bouncy Castle) and email sync (JavaMail + MailCore2) ☁️ Minimal server footprint for opt-in features 🚫 No ads and no data-mining That’s a top-tier security suite. But don’t worry, this is not some spartan app that’s clunky to use. With Canary you’ll get: ✅ Read receipts ⏰ Snooze 👎 Newsletter management & one-click unsubscribe 💌 Gmail categories 👩‍❤️‍👨 Contact profiles 📆 In-app calendar (coming soon) 📄 Reusable mail templates 🧹 Inbox cleaner (just scroll to delete junk) 📲 Familiar, native, intuitive design so there’s no learning curve And much more. All underpinned by top-notch engineering: 💯 Canary is 100% native - no slow, buggy, cross-platform web tech 👌 Optimized for low-bandwidth and minimal on-device storage use 🚀 Snappy in-app experience - email loading, sending, search, etc Canary for macOS & iOS is regularly featured by Apple on the App Store and is available for a simple, one-time fee. No subscription. Canary for Android is now in public beta and is FREE to use for PH users - just hit GET IT! We’re here in case you have questions and would love to know what you think about Canary 🙌 Useful links: Review privacy policy: https://canarymail.io/privacy.html Share feedback, bug reports, and ideas for improvement: https://join.slack.com/t/canarym...
