Global Inbox brings all your emails into Canopy to speed up your workflow and limit the number of browser tabs or windows open at once.
Within the global inbox, you can read, delete, archive, and reply to all your emails. You can also send emails to your Canopy contacts and attach files to your drafted emails.
