It should be a simple option, no? Most other email client I use have right click > forward , and then "forward as attachment" as an option. Currently, I have no way to forward spam emails to systems where they want the original email,except for doing "view message source", saving it, attaching to a new email, and sending... which is a crazy waste of time. I just want to be able to quickly forward the emails as an attachment! I found a request from 2021, and it says "under consideration", so the fact its still not an option in 2026 is crazy (especially for a paid product) sug_5oiyeqhyoryhcsu 2026-03-20T08:52:33Z 2026-03-20T08:52:33Z Currently, the Mailbird interface is almost completely unuseble with screen readers like JAWS For Windows, NVDA and Narrator. The interface should be modified such that elements are properly exposed in a manner where they can be accessed by screen readers. Further, keyboard support needs to be improved so that all funtions are available without the use of the mouse. sug_mnblbxfvcssnu75 2026-03-13T00:39:39Z 2026-03-13T00:39:38Z Ability to have a people-centric view for the mailbox, in the same way that Unibox and Talanoa do. sug_wcbtzae2veygvhv 2026-01-23T15:51:51Z 2026-01-23T15:51:50Z I see someone suggest you have composed email text size font 11px in 2022! Why hasn't this been implemented yet? It makes no sense to go from 10px to 12px when the majority of email clients around the world use 11 or 11.5? What is the reason???? sug_36q54ekpkijk65o 2026-01-20T20:35:33Z 2026-01-20T20:35:33Z Add the capability to block/filter emails based on keywords in the front facing 'friendly name' field, rather than the email address hidden behind. Spammers are increasingly varying the email addresses, but have consistent words in the friendly name field. sug_gjjv9rlo0ocoovx 2026-01-15T10:25:28Z 2026-01-15T10:25:28Z Please Block spam emails, not just put them in spam folder, but actually block them from arriving on my computer sug_arvvjyaidzwxhxs 2025-12-26T04:30:51Z 2025-12-26T04:30:51Z Too many basic functions are being treated as paywall features. Your email and website brag about an unsubscribe button but I had to go back to the Google web mail client to get work done. If a function is in the web mail UI it should be in yours, without charging extra. I'll be back when you lot get it sug_tnczkpjf1om00ee 2025-12-22T14:12:44Z 2025-12-22T14:12:44Z This option would allow the user to limit downloaded emails and attachments to just the last 30 days. (Arguably this should be the default) This would prevent huge disk consumption from downloading old emails that are rarely or never accessed. Personally I had 10's of GB of disk consumption and had to turn off email download in advance to prevent this. sug_gkjjdk3luly2u7c 2025-12-16T17:03:15Z 2025-12-16T17:03:14Z When replying to an email and the title is changed Mailbird prompts to see if you want the new message in a new conversation. I've found several times I'd like the ability to split an existing email in a conversation out of that conversation into a new one (usually because I messed up and didn't reply correctly when I changed the title during composition!). sug_rxa3y3a6ymhujug 2025-12-11T02:00:24Z 2025-12-11T02:00:24Z Group emails by “Today”, “Yesterday”, “Last Week”, “Last Month”, Similar to outlook. sug_i5jhrdidjohnrpd 2025-12-01T00:36:23Z 2025-12-01T00:36:23Z Mailbird has limited functionality for the price one pays. sug_3jtmzlb9acyohys 2025-07-16T06:43:25Z 2025-07-16T06:43:24Z Hello, I often have to work without an internet connection. Does Mailbird allow you to work offline, e.g. to edit emails you have already received? sug_pvctyppnrfxwxqx 2025-07-16T06:42:21Z 2025-07-16T06:42:21Z Hello, ich muss öfter ohne Internetverbindung arbeiten. Gibt Mailbird die Möglichkeit offline z.B. bereits erhaltene Emails zu bearbeiten. sug_9iv79ncjuyhhzfl 2025-06-14T22:03:14Z 2025-06-14T22:03:14Z select all in spam folder to be able to block all selected sug_rtvidjuc3bkfnlb 2025-05-20T10:06:54Z 2025-05-20T10:06:54Z Outlook has a useful Properties view that shows total mailbox size and subfolder size on the server. This is helpful when dealing with mail accounts with limited server storage, allowing mailboxes to be tidied up before running out of server space. sug_cnpxtlhrt9bnvoz 2025-04-19T13:32:29Z 2025-04-19T13:32:28Z Que los pagos se puedan ahcer de forma mensual y no necesariamente anual sug_6gtc9vssh0e0gwo 2025-04-10T14:32:18Z 2025-04-10T14:32:18Z When jumping between apps and emails, please keep focus / remember selected email message. At the moment, once the user selects and email message and switched to any app integration, after coming back to the email account, no message is selected. sug_ewjfgew6d3vausx 2025-03-26T08:52:46Z 2025-03-26T08:52:45Z Unless i am missing this somewhere, when I search in mailbird and get a list of emails relating to that search i.e. "UptimeRobot" I have a really long list of emails - The issue is I see no option to bulk delete all of them in one go. I have over 100 of them in an old account and adding a checkbox for select all would be a great addition and a huge time saver. Any chance for this as i don't want to "block" and it's not spam. There are also many other searches I want to do and bulk delete. sug_0eml7y5tclxkonp 2025-02-26T19:23:20Z 2025-02-26T19:23:20Z Blocking and Spam are separate and different email functions. The function of "blocking" a sender should not be to [send their emails to the spam folder]. Blocking should cause future messages from that sender to not be accepted by the server, and to reply to that sender to notify them that the message was refused. Sending it to the spam folder only makes the user confirm that it's spam. After blocking a sender, I shouldn't be seeing future messages from that sender at all. Your "Block" function doesn't block anything, because that sender can continue sending me messages, all of which end up in my Spam folder and have to be visually confirmed as spam. sug_el8ywbxqqammlvc 2025-02-24T17:31:03Z 2025-02-24T17:31:03Z When I reply to a message from my phone, I receive my reply later on my PC in Mailbird (which is how I like it). I want to drag that message to the SENT folder (because it's a message that I sent), but MailBird won't let me. sug_yiizkf959ymkowg 2025-02-24T17:27:00Z 2025-02-24T17:27:00Z Creating a draft isn't easy to understand and doesn't always work as expected. I'd like to be able to open any message, delete the recipient info, and make it a draft. sug_ox0fbu96dsrbfef 2025-02-24T17:24:36Z 2025-02-24T17:24:36Z When printing a message, user should have the option to see what the laid-out pages will look like, change the view percentage, and select which pages they want to print. sug_nkhqtvpdwwhocpb 2025-02-23T16:01:50Z 2025-02-23T16:01:50Z According to the posted suggestiong to provide additional means of sorting e-mail, this has been under consideration for five years. How much consideration does it take, and how many users have to request it. I switched to Mailbird from eM Client, and one thing eM Client got right which Mailbird has not is that messages can be grouped by date recieved/sent or by the senders name, not just added to a long list, That seems like common sennse for an e-mail client and something that would benefit all users. So how many more years of consideration will be have to wait? sug_upyjeaer3uuxlxg 2025-01-29T10:42:14Z 2025-01-29T10:42:14Z Provide option for using Markdown formatting. This could simply be an auto-conversion of common Markdown syntax to existing formatting options without needing to preserve the original Markdown. For example: ' - ' becomes a bullet list '*text*' converts the text to italics '#' changes font to a heading sug_742nh0hcrvr4rmx 2025-01-29T10:24:40Z 2025-01-29T10:24:40Z Add a calendar option to easily email meeting attendees directly from the calendar event. This is helpful when sending follow-up emails after a meeting or quickly notifying everyone if you're running late. sug_7jt8fp1lrw0zsqc 2025-01-16T05:26:46Z 2025-01-16T05:26:45Z An option in settings or just a button in the "mailbar" that opens a reply in a new window. I often need this for reading other mails while answering the current one. Would be nice to have right from the inbox so you dont have to press the reply button and then press the butten that brings it to a new window. sug_6f4nmg7l88tf8zq 2025-01-15T15:31:13Z 2025-01-15T15:31:13Z It would be helpful to be able to delete emails with one click. Currently you have to hover over the email to get the action menu to appear or you have to click on the email then go to the top of the screen to perform an action. In Thunderbird, for example, you can have the delete button appear next to each email, which makes it very easy to delete all the junk mail I seem unable to avoid. :-) sug_vxz1psqxbfdw6fv 2024-12-30T08:34:59Z 2024-12-30T08:34:59Z If you sort this ill be back but until then i have alternative. I was a fully paid pro user but find the lack of spellcheck an issue and The work arounds i was given are not fit for purpose. I had to ask for a refund due to this. You need to know that I love your app. Its one of the best workflow mail apps ive ever used but without spellcheck its a no go. BUT when you fix it i'll be back and will be your biggest supporter for windows email clients as most others suck. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the spell checker issue Looking forward to hearing the progress kind regards Stuart sug_umxphxnvmukc7op 2024-12-13T09:47:08Z 2024-12-13T09:47:08Z Apart from being able to search for filters, and sort filters alphabetically. The feature I would like most, is the abilty to delete more than 1 filter at a time. You are currently able to select more than 1 filter at a time, but the delete button is grayed out if more than 1 is highlighted. This may be a safety feature, so you don't delete multiple filters at once, but if you intentionally want to, then why not? I have hundreds of filters set up, but cannoit find the ones I need to edit or delete. My idea was to delete ALL filters and be able to start them all over again from scratch. I hope this will become a feature soon, or at least be able to have some sort of search mechanism in place. sug_f9agirifspw4enh 2024-12-02T12:34:34Z 2024-12-02T12:34:34Z Please include color labels for email subjects, not "Mark as starred" only ... sug_fv1ilgbekhyc4pd 2024-11-15T21:59:56Z 2024-11-15T21:59:55Z When composing or editing an email, I cannot find a way to undo an action. For example, if I copy and paste and acccidentally over-write text that is already there, I can't find a way to undo the paste. Similarly, if I delete something, there is no easy way to undo the delete. If there is a way to do this, it is not obvious. sug_bjxr4qrkxqefai7 2024-11-15T15:56:18Z 2024-11-15T15:56:18Z Preview option sug_yzn4drklkuv2otw 2024-11-01T14:36:34Z 2024-11-01T14:36:33Z I'm very frustrated by Mailbird's use of an embedded browser. Links to documents, Zoom, Teams, etc do not work as expected and browser plug-in. Authentication to Google SSO doesn't use my password plugin. There's no reason for Mailbird to also be a browser, it should be a mail, calendar, contact solution that does what it does well. Let the browser (e.g. Chrome) do what it's supposed to do, including all of the security around it. I understand you're embedding a version of Chromium, but it just doesn't work. sug_s1bkm8cwm09ipiy 2024-10-24T19:06:21Z 2024-10-24T19:06:21Z create functionality to allow subscribed mail that is currently routed to the spam /junk folder to be excluded from span/junk mail or directed to a folder. sug_unrzedsbhog6rme 2024-10-23T04:39:16Z 2024-10-23T04:39:16Z Hi; Just a small feedback about why offline emails are really needed, fyi: my Apple icloud mail account is off now for 14 days already, due to an Apple problem (no cloud access). Now I cannot even get my "old" emails in Mailbird. Sorry to say, but I have to move to another email client that enables me to save the emails locally. sug_bfotgg9xjf86zoj 2024-09-10T17:35:10Z 2024-09-10T17:35:09Z I love the idea of Mailbird being my go-to communications app. With that in mind there are few imporvements I suggest for Facebook intengration: 1, Can we make the posting window larger? I've got this tiny little screen, it make proofreading difficult. 2. Can we get Sapling to play nice with Mailbird/Facebook and provide reliable spell checking? 3. Let's see if we can get the Facebook messange button to bring up messages, instead of just freezing the program. Many thanks, I'm a fan! sug_q2r52tx9p0ozsys 2024-09-10T17:26:24Z 2024-09-10T17:26:23Z Have a global search that searches all emails and folders in a single search. With any type of search format ie email , name or heading sug_mcylled69rw0vtq 2024-09-06T16:31:15Z 2024-09-06T16:31:15Z It seems that i primarily use the unified inbox. However, when I turn my computer off and back on (I have start mailbird on system startup DISABLED), and then go to Mailbird, the program opens into one of my individual account folders. I'm initially startled to have so few emails, then I realize it's only showing a single account's mail. It would be nice to have the option to ALWAYS start mailbird with the UNIFIED INBOX selected by default, not the default account (I am guessing that is what is it now doing). sug_vfgci8ututxepdf 2024-09-04T10:04:00Z 2024-09-04T10:04:00Z The font of emails written in Japanese is a little strange. Which font is specified for Japanese display? Japanese is composed of hiragana, katakana, and kanji (Chinese characters). Of these three, a typeface that is not very common in Japan is used for Kanji, which makes the title and body of the e-mail somewhat difficult to read. Some fonts support Japanese as a subset of Chinese as an extra, and if this is the case, it may appear somewhat inaccurate as Japanese. For example, in the early days of Android, even those that did not have Japanese fonts installed displayed Japanese fonts similar to MailBird today. This problem should not occur with Microsoft fonts such as Meiryo, but there is no way to have the Japanese font changed. sug_mptdpoepytncmxf 2024-08-19T12:12:38Z 2024-08-19T12:12:37Z To be able to set a filter for certain emails and have one of the actions be able to auto forward the email in that filter automatically to another inbox. sug_xd58cu9acusuykv 2024-08-06T20:07:20Z 2024-08-06T20:07:19Z IT would be appropriate for the help and information to also appear in the respective national language "German". appears . Because I can imagine that not every user of mailbirt the english language. sug_09vla3n6yvqqccb 2024-07-08T19:50:08Z 2024-07-08T19:50:07Z Hi, a possible recommendation for mailbird - could it handle offline / online better, because right now if in a hotel I have to switch isp sources or my vpn triggers a isp kill switch, mailbird continually states 'offline' and syncing stops.. only way to fix the issue is to close the program and restart it again. Minor issue, but maybe in the settings you could set a 'testing' duration where it retests X seconds to see if you are re-connected to the internet ? Thanks. sug_qlvaqi4c3ejjiln 2024-07-06T12:53:58Z 2024-07-06T12:53:57Z sug_2nbae1d5yseuile 2024-07-06T12:50:21Z 2024-07-06T12:50:21Z The ability to sort all emails but the sender or recipient especially in the in box. To push one button at the top of the inbox and it sorts it by sender. sug_ryoglth0v7ochb9 2024-07-05T12:49:52Z 2024-07-05T12:49:51Z Really need ability to sort inbox by all column categories. This one functionality is keeping me from paying for a subscription and using another email front end. sug_1jwmdbm9u9mkq8r 2024-05-30T15:31:02Z 2024-05-30T15:31:02Z ANIMATIONS, NOTIFIERS, STATIONARY LIKE WHAT WE HAD ON INCREDIMAIL sug_9judiltya5oxkyi 2024-03-25T04:24:39Z 2024-03-25T04:24:38Z As it is possible to add the birthday in contacts in Mailbird, would it be possible to send automatically an email from template to the contact? Would be nice when some fields in the email are merged with data from the contactlist. Like: Dear Paul, Happy birthday! Pieter sug_rxrvga0is4hxkaq 2024-03-14T16:54:58Z 2024-03-14T16:54:57Z There should be an option to populate the public (Christian) holidays in the calendar. The anniversary days (birthday, wedding day, etc) of your contacts should be populated automatically once they are defined for a contact. sug_csutenhkb1qbvyw 2024-02-28T16:17:08Z 2024-02-28T16:17:08Z Comment sauvegarder l'ensemble des messages de la messagerie Mailbird dans le cas d'un problème ou remplacement de l'ordinateur afin de pouvoir les récupérer dans une nouvelle installation du logiciel Mailbird.
