### 1/5 — Missing folders

*2026-03-14, version 11.22.0*

Missing folders. No send folder.

Attachments don’t attach.

Allow Missive to find devices

Blocks actions with weird questions.

Does bizarre things, e.g. a new email message just gets marked as a draft, with no way to send it

### 5/5 — Truly Amazing App. I have tried them all!

*2026-02-28*

I was looking for a better email app for personal and work emails. The default Mac mail just does not have any real features if you have a lot of email addresses, calendars and notes. I literally downloaded 20 different platforms. All the big ones and the smaller ones. Ones that most big companies use. You can imagine the list. 3-4 months of testing and finding flaws in all of them. Missive is exactly what YOU need it to be. You can set it up just for what you need. Built a couple of custom apps to help me that live in missive now. Incredible. It is really an amazing software.

### 1/5 — Missing folders

*2026-02-10, version 11.19.1*

Missing folders.

Attachments don’t attach.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-01-17, version 11.18.0*

If your work is based on email, especially in a team setting this app is a must have! It’s a complete game changer in how you’ll work and what you can achieve. Worth every penny 🚀

### 5/5 — The absolute best thing. I LOVE using the app.

*2025-10-18*

Using missive for few years now in multiple orgs. It’s essential and lovely to use. Well designed. Complexity where it’s needed. And amazing dev/support team. Features are very well implemented. And I love the fact that there API and custom integrations!

### 5/5 — Instantly deleted my other email apps

*2025-10-04, version 11.12.2*

Clearly some talented people in charge of UX at Missive. Switched it to my default for work and personal after a few minutes playing around.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2025-04-10, version 11.5.0*

Missive is an awesome email app for teams. It takes a bit to learn, but once you do, it’s super powerful for sharing inboxes and collaborating. I’m a big fan and totally recommend it for business use.

### 5/5 — It’s like a hybrid productive tools

*2025-02-27, version 11.2.0*

This is a brilliant tool! I used to juggle multiple tools for a single task, which consumed my time and energy—and sometimes left me confused about what I was doing. With Missive, I can simply take notes and snooze emails to remind me once I’ve completed a task. This also makes our team work efficiently and effectively—we discuss what to do before sending an email all in one place, no need to mention on Slack or ping on different channels :)

### 5/5 — Best email/omni-channel client ever

*2025-02-20, version 11.2.0*

As per title: enough said.

### 4/5 — Let us dark mode the Home Screen icon!

*2024-12-25, version 10.71.1*

Love Missive — been using it for a year now. It can get expensive if you have a small team but productivity is great. Would love to see a dark mode icon in iOS 18 — it sticks out like a sore thumb.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 11.34.0 — 2026-08-28

New:
• External AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can now connect to Missive through the Model Context Protocol and act on your conversations, contacts, calendar, and drafts, with the permissions you choose. An admin enables it for the organization in Settings, then anyone on the team can connect their own AI app.
• The AI assistant now shows what it's doing: a spinner on the session tab while it works, and a blue dot on the tab and the sidebar button when it's done replying or paused for your input or approval. A conversation with sessions attached gets a "Go to related session(s)" button.

Improvements:
• The AI assistant now answers questions about Missive itself. Ask how a feature works, how to set up a rule, or where a setting lives, and the answer comes straight from the Missive documentation instead of a guess.
• The Type (Internal / External) and Date range filters in search no longer stay greyed out until you enter a search term, so you can filter first when all you know is that you're after a comment or something from last week.

Fixes:
• When several integrations add quick actions to the composer, they now collapse into an overflow dropdown instead of pushing the Send button out of view.
• Typing :smile and hitting Return twice in a row no longer inserts the emoji twice.
• Removed the Download all attachments button, which never actually worked.
• Broken avatar images in the conversation list now fall back to the default icon instead of the browser's broken-image icon.
• Sub-menus, like the ones in the Snooze menu, no longer render behind their parent menu.
• Opening Settings from inside the Snooze menu now closes the Snooze menu instead of leaving it open on top.
• Inserting "All responses" or "All calendars" as a context token in the AI assistant no longer crashes the input.
• IMAP mailbox context tokens now resolve to the right mailbox, with the correct icon and click behavior.
• Autocompleting a recipient in the Cc field no longer bounces focus back to the To field and accepts an unfinished address.
• Fullscreen dialogs animate smoothly again.
• The status bar color now updates correctly when opening Settings from the sidebar.

### 11.33.0 — 2026-08-15

New:
• Recently used statuses are now saved in the status dialog. Reapply any with a single click, restoring the emoji, message, Out of Office duration, and auto-responder settings. You can also search your full status history or apply saved statuses from the command bar.
• The AI assistant can now open files attached to a conversation, including PDFs, images, and documents, and use them as context when composing replies or answering questions.
• The AI assistant can now compose new messages from scratch, not just replies. Set or change the From, To, Cc, and Bcc fields, start a brand new conversation, or reply to a specific message in a thread. Works across email, SMS, and WhatsApp.
• The assistant's calendar tool can now search events by keyword, so you can ask things like "when is my next meeting with Acme?" without scanning every event.
• Missive now remembers where you were in a conversation and restores your position when navigating Back or Forward.

Improvements:
• New OpenAI and Gemini models are now available in the model picker, and Missive will automatically pick up future model releases. Older models remain available under a Legacy submenu.
• Native browser UI elements such as scrollbars, form controls, and spellcheck underlines now match your light or dark theme.
• The API now accepts an add_default_signature option when creating a draft, so drafts created via API can include the sending alias's signature.

Fixes:
• Variables in a personal signature now fill in from your organization profile, so fields like job title render properly in the preview and in sent emails.
• Pasting a URL over selected text in the comment box now turns the selection into a link, instead of replacing it with the raw URL.
• Typing a slash date like 9/8 in the snooze menu resolves to the correct date again.
• The onboarding dialog no longer renders too small and clips its right side.
• Messages backfilled through the API with a custom account alias now appear as outgoing instead of incoming.
• Recipient fields on SMS and other channel messages now update live when the recipient changes.
• The spinner when opening a calendar event from the Activity feed no longer spins indefinitely after a fresh app launch.
• Integration forms that outgrew their dialog can be scrolled again, and narrow integration popups now open at a usable width.
• Fixed inserting file links via the Google Drive integration.

### 11.32.0 — 2026-07-17

New:
• Connect a Quo number to send and receive SMS right inside Missive, alongside your email and other channels. Route incoming messages to a team, and collaborate on replies with comments before sending.
• After the assistant drafts a reply, you can now approve and send it without leaving the sidebar. Missive verifies the draft has not changed since you reviewed it before sending.
• The character that triggers label suggestions in comments is now configurable, and suggestions can be turned off entirely under Settings > Appearance.
• Two newer AI models are now available in the model picker: Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Opus 4.8.

Improvements:
• AI context tokens now respond consistently to clicks: left-click opens the referenced item, and right-click opens its context menu.
• Tasks in the Tasks list now show snooze and star indicators, matching the conversation list.
• Middle-clicking a conversation in the desktop app now opens it in a new window.
• Typing "unwatch" in the command bar now surfaces the Stop watching action.
• Removing a user now requires typing a confirmation, reducing the risk of triggering the action by accident.

Fixes:
• Switching the From address on a reply now removes that address from To/Cc, so you no longer email yourself.
• Code blocks in the assistant no longer show encoded characters instead of the actual symbols.
• Copying text from an email in Firefox no longer shows a spurious clipboard error when the copy actually succeeded.
• Arrow-key navigation in the sidebar no longer enters sub-mailboxes in collapsed team spaces.
• Fixed an issue that could create duplicate conversations when the same email arrived across multiple connected accounts.
• The "Mark as read" rule action now correctly marks the labeled copy as read when the label folder is in a different connected account.
• On mobile, selecting text in the composer drawer no longer accidentally drags the drawer when you’re trying to select text.

### 11.31.2 — 2026-07-07

Improvements:
• Adjusted draft quick action placement to save space in drafts

Fixes:
• Restored scrolling for To/Cc/Bcc fields in drafts

### 11.31.1 — 2026-07-03

New:
• Dialogs such as drafts, events, and tasks can now be dragged and repositioned anywhere in the window. On mobile, dock them to keep the conversation visible underneath.
• The left sidebar can now be collapsed to give your inbox and conversations more room. Hover the window edge to peek at it, or click to pin it open. The collapse button shows your unread count.
• Use the calendar filter menu to switch between your tasks or all tasks.
• Right-click any task or subtask to copy a direct link and share it with a teammate.

Improvements:
• Tables generated by Ask AI now render with polished styling, including when inserted into a draft sent through Gmail or other providers.
• Click the star icon directly on a conversation preview to unstar it, without opening the conversation first.

Fixes:
• Searching inside a per-account Inbox now correctly limits results to that account, consistent with how Sent, Trash, and Starred already worked.
• Muted conversations no longer trigger notifications for task assignments or mentions.
• Undoing "Archive from team inbox" no longer moves the conversation into your personal Inbox when it was only in the team inbox to begin with.
• Selecting "Search in label" from the Command Bar now keeps your query intact so you do not have to retype it.
• Typing an emoji shortcut after an unfinished mention or label reference no longer gets stuck in completion mode.
• The archive confirmation dialog now follows your preference in filtered mailboxes and mailboxes with organization labels, instead of always appearing.
• The signature switcher no longer drifts when you scroll or resize a draft.
• Double-tapping a file on mobile now opens it. Long press opens the context menu.
• Copying multiple conversation links and pasting them into another app on iOS no longer inserts encoded spaces between URLs.
