  • Getting my first MacBook today (been PC for 25 yrs) and planned on using the native apps - any suggestions on 3rd party downloads?
    Haven't settled on one. But if I had to pick, I'd probably choose Canary or Mozilla's Thunderbird, which are both purportedly privacy-first. Email in general is a fairly lossy format—you're either E2EE on both sides, or you're not. But I don't use Google products and Apple's Mail app apparently has the appropriate budget of your aunt's couch change, so. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
  • Looking for suggestions on battery app and mail app
    As for email, https://canarymail.io is good alternative, also has an iOS app. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • Spark email client goes subscription path
    Last time I researched mac email clients a few years ago, I found that spark was one of the worst in terms of privacy and tracking. I settled on canary mail (https://canarymail.io/) as it was better in that regard, while still supporting gmail (which I no longer use). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Apple-centric digital privacy tools
    Canary Mail: a third-party email with a reasonable price tag and a heavy focus on privacy and security, Canary offers a number of enhancements like read receipts, templates, snoozing, PGP support and calendar/contact integration. The design hews tightly to iOS and macOS platform norms but, naturally, is not quite as tightly integrated as Apple's first-party mail app. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • Do you know of a macOS mail client with a total count badge in the menubar (i.e. the NSStatusBar)?
    I would also like you to tell if, when I first start Canary, I also need to create an account with the canarymail.io themselves beyond setting my own IMAP email accounts that would thus remain stand-alone (i.e. My IMAP/SMTP connection data flow never transit through their servers). - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
