Canopy's Global Inbox brings all of your emails into the Canopy app to help speed up your workflow and eliminate the need to have multiple windows open at once. Within the global inbox, you can read, delete, archive, and reply to all of your emails. You can also email your Canopy clients and attach Canopy files to your drafted emails. To get started with the global inbox, make sure that you've connected an email account to Canopy.
