Getting Started with Shared Inbox by Canary (Mac/Windows/iOS App)

Important Note on Shared Inbox Setup & Settings for iOS/macOS/Windows app

To ensure a smooth experience, please keep the following in mind:

  • Shared Inbox must be set up and managed through the Canary web app at app.canarymail.io and not directly from within the app itself.
  • Any configuration changes (e.g. inbox addition, adding users, team permissions, etc.) must also be made via the web app.
  • Once set up, your shared inbox and its changes will automatically reflect across the app.

Shared Inbox is currently supported on Web, macOS, Windows and iOS. We’re working on bringing Shared Inbox support to Android soon.

Step 1-8: Setting Up Your Canary Mail Account

The initial setup process is the same as the web app. Please follow Steps 1-6 from our guide on Getting Started with Shared Inbox by Canary (Web App).

Step 9: Once you have completed the initial setup via the web

  1. Install Canary Mail on macOS/iOS/Windows.
  2. Now, this step is important. Please make sure you're logging in with the right account:
    • If you are the admin, log in with the account you used to connect your team's shared inbox.
    • If you are a team member, log in with the account where you received the 'Getting Started' email.
    • You do not need to log in with the shared inbox itself. Your connected shared inbox will automatically appear in the app.
  3. Locate the Shared Inbox in the Sidebar:
    • If your account is connected to a shared inbox, you will see it at the bottom left in the sidebar.
    • If you do not see the Shared Inbox, ask your admin to check your access in Users & Teams settings.
    • If you have not been added, request the admin to add you as a user to the organization and resend the invite.
    • You will receive a 'Getting Started' email. Click on 'Install', then 'Activate'. Once activated, you should see the Shared Inbox in the sidebar.

Step 10: Verify Your Team Settings

  • Open Canary Mail.
  • Click on 'Canary Mail' in the menu bar.
  • Navigate to Settings > Teams.
  • Here, you should see that you are connected to your organization.

Once everything is set up, you can start managing your shared inbox seamlessly on your preferred platform!
