Canary Mail has proven itself to be a solid email client that I've come to rely on. Canary Mail's simplicity is its winning feature. Navigating and using the app is a breeze and its stability is noteworthy.

The AI feature is writing responses is pretty weird and not that useful. You write a prompt and it repeats what you say, want to lengthen it?...it doesn't grasp the concept of the email. When you pin or forward an email, it doesn't mark it as read.

Billing is not transparent, tough to make billing changes on your own. And the support team is unresponsive.
