### 2/5 — If Only…

*2026-08-19, version 5.22.0*

I really liked this app when I first opened it. Clean, responsive, organized. 

But now it doesn’t delete mail from most of my accounts. It keeps prompting me to open the app so it can finish deleting mail, and never does. It APPEARS as if the mail is deleted but then a short while later, I open the app and the same messages are still in my inbox, unrelated. 

In addition I get a lot of phantom badges… the app icon will say I have several unread messages, I open the app and no unread messages in any of my inboxes. 

This was why I stopped using Outlook. Seems Canary has the same issues. 

Hope yas get it fixed up, because I think I would have liked the app.

### 4/5 — Overall the best

*2026-08-18, version 5.22.0*

It’s great. Fully loaded email app. My only complaints are the way that it handles deleted messages, when you delete a message and go out of the app it asks you to go back in to the app to finish deleting. Also, it’s kind of a pain when you have a lot of email addresses to keep up with that the app doesn’t have an option to where you can favorite inboxes.

### 1/5 — Broken!

*2026-08-15, version 5.22.0*

One of the two (not sure which) most recent version updates has made this app completely unusable if you'd previously Toggled ON the Sync Across Devices option prior to updating the app OR if you've made the unfortunate decision to go into the Settings and do so for the first time after having updated the app. 
Toggling ON the Sync Across Devices option will now cause Canary Mail to instantly crash. It will not even stay open long enough to go back into its Settings and Toggle the option back OFF again.
At this point, your only option appears to be a complete reset by uninstalling all instances on each/every device (which will remove everything — cache, data, login credentials), reinstalling, and then going through the painstaking process of logging back in individually on each/every device. 
I'm currently experiencing this on both an iPhone 13 Pro Max as well as an iPhone 17.

One ⭐️ until this is fixed.
(Generally I'd give Canary Mail almost 4 Stars on average.)

### 1/5 — Oops something went wrong…

*2026-08-15, version 5.22.0*

100% garbage app. AI answers “Oops something went wrong” with almost every prompt you input.  All screening is a joke, AI assistant is a bigger joke, glitchy with message moving and it seems like the app sold my email address and now I am getting significantly more spam than before I started using the piece of garbage. Save your time and money and run from this dumpster fire.

### 5/5 — CyberKONG says DONT EVER HACKsolo withOUT HIM OR THEM AGAIN…

*2026-08-07, version 5.21.0*

Beautiful seamless design seamless transitions

### 3/5 — No iCloud calendar mail support for windows

*2026-07-26, version 5.21.0*

No iCloud calendar mail support for windows

### 3/5 — Не проверяет все папки

*2026-07-26*

Если новые письма появились не в Inbox, а в более глубокой папке, то клиент об этом не сообщит, пока эту папку не откроешь вручную. Вообще, хотелось бы настраивать список папок, которые клиент должен проверять на наличие новой почты.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We understand how important notifications for subfolders are, and we appreciate the suggestion. We'll share this with our team as a feature request to improve the experience.

### 2/5 — What is the problem

*2026-07-26, version 5.21.0*

I subscribed to the app and didn’t have any complaints until yesterday when I was locked out of my account and the message said my trial period was over.   My renewal date was February 2027.   I tried to call customer support and there is no phone number.   I filled out the online support form and the response came back with the support person not understanding the issue as usual.   It seems the so-called customer service can’t understand the issue unless they have a screenshot or to see your screen to solve the issue.  For example, I called my bank to ask a 
general question and they wanted to access my account to answer a simple  question.🤨

### 5/5 — Please add grouping notification

*2026-07-22*

Hey Canary! It’s a great app, but there’s one feature I miss a lot.

On iOS, some mail clients group notifications by sender, so emails from the same person or company are neatly organized into separate notification stacks. In Canary, all email notifications are grouped together into a single stack, which quickly becomes difficult to navigate when many emails arrive.

It would be great if Canary could support grouping notifications by sender (or at least provide it as an option). This small change would make managing incoming emails much more convenient.

Thanks! :)

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for the kind words! We're glad you're enjoying Canary. Grouping notifications by sender is a great suggestion, and we can see how it would make managing busy inboxes much easier. We'll share this with our product team for consideration in a future update. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your idea!

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2026-07-22, version 5.21.0*

I really like this app, but it consistently fails to load emails. I will have push notifications for unread emails and when I check the app, there is nothing there. Support was unable to solve this issue and I am definitely not the only one experiencing it.
