Talk:Canary Mail

Edit request - COI editor proposals pending review

Please change this existing text:

Canary Mail is an email client that offers artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities backed by technology from OpenAI & Cohere, as well as open-source language models from Hugging Face. The app is available on Windows, macOS, Android, and IOS.

To this new text:

Canary Mail is a cross-platform email client available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and watchOS. It connects to existing email services including Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, IMAP, and Exchange, and includes features for AI-assisted drafting, summarizing, and prioritizing email, as well as privacy and encryption features such as PGP.

Reason: Current lead uses outdated AI vendor names, missing watchOS, and does not clearly define Canary Mail as a client that connects to existing accounts. Full proposals with sourcing are in the sections below.

I am disclosing that I work as an SEO professional for Canary Mail (Cartasec Pte. Ltd.). I have a conflict of interest with respect to this article. I will not make non-trivial edits directly to the article. Instead I will post proposed changes here on the Talk page for review by independent editors. I am planning to propose the following improvements to the article: Rewrite the lead to accurately reflect Canary Mail as a cross-platform email client with optional AI features Update the infobox with current platform information Remove outdated and stale claims from the article body Improve neutrality and encyclopedic tone throughout I welcome feedback from independent editors on these proposed changes.

As disclosed in my earlier post, I work as an SEO professional for Canary Mail and I have a COI with respect to this article.

I am proposing the following rewrite of the lead paragraph. The current lead frames the product primarily through AI vendor names (OpenAI, Cohere, Hugging Face) which is now outdated and does not clearly define Canary Mail as an email client that connects to existing accounts.

The proposed rewrite is based on the official About page at canarymail.io and third-party sources including the PCMag and TechRadar reviews already cited in the article.

Proposed new lead:

Canary Mail is a cross-platform email client with a focus on privacy that connects to existing email services, including Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, IMAP, and Exchange. It is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and watchOS.

The software includes optional artificial intelligence features for drafting, summarizing, and prioritizing emails. It also supports privacy and encryption features, including PGP encryption. Canary Mail does not act as an email provider - it connects to accounts the user already has.

Canary Mail was co-founded by brothers Sohel Sanghani and Dev Sanghani and has been available since 2016.

Reasons for change:

• Removes vendor names from the lead that will age badly and are not essential to define the product
• Adds "client not provider" clarity which is missing from the current article
• Adds watchOS which is missing from the current platform list
• Describes AI as optional, which is accurate and more neutral
• Adds PGP and privacy mention which are core features cited in existing third-party sources

  Clarification requested  

• There are three versions of the lead section described in the request.
  • The currently-standing version;
  • A proposed version at the beginning of this section;
  • Another proposed version—different from the one mentioned above—located nearer to the bottom of this section
• Needless to say, the edit request cannot be reviewed when there are dueling versions of the proposed text. Kindly clarify which version is the one meant to be reviewed and implemented.
• When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change {{Edit COI}} answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n.

Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  04:54, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Proposed infobox update - version numbers and platform list - COI editor

As disclosed previously, I work as an SEO professional for Canary Mail and I have a COI with respect to this article.

I am proposing the following updates to the infobox. All version numbers are sourced from the official Canary Mail public release notes at roadmap.canarymail.io/announcements.

Changes proposed:

• macOS version updated from 4.77 (January 2025) to 5.18 (February 2026)
• iOS version updated from 4.77 (January 2025) to 5.19 (April 2026)
• Android version updated from 1.83 (April 2023) to 3.88 (March 2026)
• Windows version 5.1.54 (March 2026) added - Windows is a supported platform and was missing from the infobox
• watchOS added to the operating system field - it is a supported platform missing from the current list
• Size fields removed - app size changes with every update and the current values are stale

Sources: roadmap.canarymail.io/announcements

I welcome feedback from independent editors before this change is applied.

Update to my earlier proposal - 22 April 2026

After further consideration I am revising my recommendation on the stable release block.

Rather than replacing the current stale version numbers with new ones, I now recommend removing the stable release block entirely.

Reason: Canary Mail releases updates frequently across four separate platforms with different version tracks. Without a committed maintenance owner to update these numbers regularly, any values added will become stale quickly - which is the same problem the current entry has.

Removing the block entirely is cleaner and more consistent with Wikipedia's preference for stable and maintainable content.

The block to remove is: | latest release version = {{Multiple releases |branch1 = Mac |version1 = 4.77 |date1 = {{start date and age|2025|01|27}} |branch2 = iOS |version2 = 4.77 |date2 = {{start date and age|2025|01|27}} |branch3 = Android |version3 = 1.83 |date3 = {{start date and age|2023|04|5}} }} I welcome feedback from independent editors before this change is applied.

Proposed Features section rewrite - COI editor

As disclosed previously, I work as an SEO professional for Canary Mail and I have a COI with respect to this article.

I am proposing the following rewrite of the Features section. The current section uses promotional language such as "flagship feature" and includes pricing references that may no longer be accurate. It also omits several confirmed features including SecureSend, tracker blocking, and phishing protection, and does not describe AI as optional.

All claims in the proposed rewrite are sourced from the official Canary Mail security features page at canarymail.io/features/security and existing third-party sources already cited in the article.

Proposed new Features section:

Features

Canary Mail includes end-to-end encryption, tracker blocking, and phishing protection across all connected accounts.

The app supports PGP encryption and is OpenPGP compatible, meaning recipients do not need to use Canary Mail to receive encrypted messages. For recipients without PGP, Canary Mail includes SecureSend, a feature that allows users to send password-protected, expiring messages to anyone regardless of their email client.

Canary Mail blocks invisible tracking pixels in emails by default, preventing senders from collecting information about when and where a message was opened. The app also includes built-in phishing detection that scans emails in real time and warns users before they interact with suspicious links or spoofed senders.

The app includes an optional artificial intelligence feature called Copilot, which can assist users with drafting, summarizing, and prioritizing emails. AI features are optional and can be used or ignored based on user preference.

Canary Mail is available across multiple platforms and allows users to access their accounts from various devices. Users can optionally use the default Gmail keyboard shortcuts, which Wired noted could be significant for those who have been using Gmail for a long time.

Key changes from current version:

• Removed "flagship feature" language around Copilot -

 not encyclopedic

• Removed "Pro Version" pricing language - not encyclopedic

 and may be outdated

• Added SecureSend - password-protected expiring messages

 for non-PGP recipients - sourced from official page

• Added tracker blocking - confirmed from official page
• Added phishing protection - confirmed from official page
• Described AI/Copilot as optional - accurate and neutral
• Removed Efail claim - source is from 2018 and the competitive claim cannot be verified today

• Only one third-party source accompanies this proposed text, when the section would benefit from additional sources (that are not the company itself) describing its features. Perhaps some of the reviews that have been proposed here in a later section could be used as the reference for a description of the features.

Proposed Reception section update - COI editor

As disclosed previously, I work as an SEO professional for Canary Mail and I have a COI with respect to this article.

I am proposing the following update to the Reception section. The current section contains a 2021 pricing opinion from TechRadar that may no longer be accurate. I am also proposing adding a newer third-party review from MacSources published January 2025 to strengthen the section with more recent coverage.

Reception

PCMag's review of Canary Mail notes that it is user-friendly and offers a great experience for both beginners and advanced users. It highlights the application's wide variety of features and security features such as end-to-end encryption and two-factor authentication. However, the review also points out drawbacks such as occasional glitches and a calendar that could use improvement. The magazine rated Canary Mail 4 stars, deeming it "excellent".

TechRadar describes the app as a strong choice for users concerned about email security and highlights its PGP encryption as one of its strongest features. It notes that the app has a user-friendly setup and interface, with thorough documentation and support available to assist users. The review rates it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

MacSources reviewed Canary Mail in January 2025, rating it 83 out of 100 and describing it as delivering an intuitive design with seamless cross-platform syncing. The review highlights productivity tools including bulk cleaning, email templates, and smart prioritization, while noting that the AI Copilot feature could benefit from improvements in processing forwarded emails.

The Next Web's review of Canary Mail highlighted its design and extensive feature set. The review notes that it stands out from its competitors due to its attention to detail and inclusion of features overlooked by other email clients such as the app's smart inbox. The review also highlights that it offers full encryption by default, making it a strong choice for privacy-conscious users.

Key changes:

• Removed "high price point" language from TechRadar

 summary - 2021 pricing opinion that may no longer 
 be accurate

• Added MacSources January 2025 review - independent

 editorial review rating Canary Mail 83 out of 100

• All other existing reviews kept as is

Proposed new Reception section:

1. The Tech Radar opinion on the "high price point" was not deleted, as the reasoning behind the change is not coherent. As it was the reviewer's opinion of the software at that time, it's unclear how the opinion "may no longer be accurate."
2. The MacSources review was not added because that source is apparently not independently notable in Wikipedia. If this is an error, kindly provide the H:WIKILINK for MacSources.
