Canary Mail overview
Canary Mail is a secure, cross-platform email app for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows. It brings Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Exchange, iCloud, Yahoo and any IMAP account into one unified inbox, and keeps the important messages on top with on-device prioritization. AI Copilot drafts replies in your voice, summarizes long threads, and finds anything across accounts with natural-language search; your email is never used to train AI models. For sensitive mail, Canary supports OpenPGP end-to-end encryption and SecureSend, which delivers encrypted, expiring messages to anyone, even if they don't use Canary. Read receipts, snooze, pin, 1-click unsubscribe, templates, send later and a built-in calendar round it out. Free to start; paid plans are yearly or one-time.

What users say about Canary Mail
Features: 4.0
Pretty basic, but it looks and matches the macOS settings. has all the bells and whistles one would expect from an email client. Setup was the fastest and first problem-free setup I've had in a while (with iCloud, Gmail, and Yahoo).

While it's privacy features are impressive it only works if the one you are sending to also either has Canary, or a like email client. EVERYONE can see your actual email address when you send it to an unsecured ebox, like when you reply to an internet offer of new point of contact for the first time. This has happened with Apple's iCloud domains when using "Hide My Email."

I used it since switching to Mac in 2008. Liked it. Then I discovered Tutanota and Runbox in 2017 and quite happy. Both are extremely security oriented, and both visually different. I'm on a premium plan on Tuta. Runbox on a free plan, since I'm using much less than Tuta.

Canary is a good, solid e-mail client. There are some bells and whistles that would be good to have. But Canary's purpose is security. In terms of that, I would actually want to see S/MIME supported. Among bells and whistles, message tagging, virtual folders and finally control over the fonts would be nice to have, but again, it is about communication security.

Best privacy features amongst competitors. Visually pleasing and cross-sync functioning more reliably now. FYI, these reviews are inconsistent with App Store reviews (4 stars), which makes one wonder if reviewers are unbiased.
