Canary Mail boasts great capabilities and good implementation, which, coupled with an elegant design and user-friendly interface, makes Canary a very interesting copy. We can say that this is Airmail with the branded Snooze from Mailbox and other popular functions of modern email clients.

Canary works with Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo! and other services via IMAP. It is important that all user data is stored locally and is not sent to third-party servers. Visually, the app really does look like Airmail with its collapsible folders and blurry background. But this is more of a compliment than an indication of a flaw.

Interaction with messages is implemented very competently. There is no need to talk about the universal inbox and gesture control; they exist and work as expected. For convenience, the actions are duplicated by buttons in the corner of the window and in the body of the letter, but the additional icons are not particularly distracting, remaining gray until you move the cursor over them. Sorting using filters and smart search that works offline are also in place.

The letter editor is simple, concise, with the minimum necessary formatting options. There is integration with Dropbox and Google Drive for attachments, the ability to select templates and track the reading status of your message. From the extraordinary - search and insert GIFs from Giphy. New mail hotkeys are provided for 9 favorite contacts (⌘⌥1 - ⌘⌥9).

Demanding users will appreciate support for Gmail shortcuts and an attachment browser available directly in the correspondence window. And, of course, Snooze is the most important feature for those who use mail as a task manager. You can snooze emails for one of the standard periods or for a manually selected date - they will disappear from your inbox and appear on a separate Snooze tab.

Canary Mail is interesting because it has a good balance of functionality and minimalism, seasoned with useful features like reading status tracking, as well as flexible settings that are almost perfect by default.
