There is a clear and growing shift among EU companies, public institutions, and regulated sectors toward non-US, sovereign software solutions. This trend is only going to accelerate in the coming years as awareness increases and legal, regulatory, and procurement pressure on EU organizations continues to grow. Many organizations are already actively moving away from US-controlled cloud services, even when data is technically hosted in EU regions. As a Canadian company, Missive is in a unique position. Being non-US is already a strong foundation and a real advantage. However, the current infrastructure setup makes it difficult to position Missive as a truly sovereign option for EU customers. From my perspective, the main blockers today are: Infrastructure hosted on AWS As I understand it, Missive is primarily hosted on AWS. Even when AWS regions are located in the EU, the service remains subject to US jurisdiction. For many EU organizations, this alone disqualifies a product. An optional deployment on an EU- or Canada-based cloud provider, owned and operated outside the US, would materially change this. Limited EU-centric email integrations While IMAP is supported, it feels second-class in practice, especially around search reliability and performance. Microsoft and Google are clearly the primary integrations today, which again pushes users toward US-based ecosystems. Supporting at least one EU-based email provider at API level would be a meaningful improvement. Data flowing to AWS even with EU email hosting At the moment, it is possible to host email entirely on EU servers via IMAP, but once Missive is used, message data is still processed and stored on AWS. This defeats the purpose of running EU-only email infrastructure and is a real concern for compliance-driven users. What I am suggesting is an optional “EU sovereign” track, for example: EU-only infrastructure on a non-US cloud provider Clear guarantees around data residency and control This would result in a setup that EU customers can reasonably defend during legal, compliance, and procurement reviews. I believe this would be a strong differentiator for Missive and open the door to customers who currently cannot even consider US-adjacent solutions at all, regardless of features or pricing.

I'd like to run rules on emails that already exist. Not just on new ones. That way I can lable all old emails that meet a certain criteria.

As AI develops I miss the fact that cannot query conversations as via outlook or gmail we can use ai with those tools to summarise threads and even write emails. However the core of missive is that there is a conversation and even files that can be added to the conversation around those threads. Now I actually make 3-4 screenshots and paste to Claude but it’s not a great system. Any plans for this ?

simply the ability of missive to recognise the same contact communicating over various channels to be blended / merged into one chronological thread for obvious reasons. thanks

It would be great to have a roadmap of features coming to Missive in the next 18 months and also what Devs are trying to fix or improve for possible release in the next 6 months.

I'm aware that ChatGPT integration has the option to translate messages from different languages, but in our company we dont have the authorization to share e-mails contents to AI models. We will need a translation feature that is in-built in Missive.

need it to have wider reach and complexity, thanks

Displaying attachments at the top of each email instead of at the bottom would be very very helpful, because when I have to scroll through a conversation with large email text-content, it takes an endless amount of time to get to the attachments. Perhaps it would make sense to simply place the files for each email under the graphic header (sender/recipient), i.e., above the email text content, IN ADDITION to the email bottom. And no, the attachments via the sidebar details do not help me here, because, for example, if I am in price negotiations and device configuration with a supplier, and they send me, for e.g. 15-20 (repeatedly revised) offers/configurations, I still don't know which file belongs to which email. To be always on the safe side I scroll through the closed emails within the conversation, open the last email with an attachment-icon, and want to go directly to the attachments without now having to scroll through the whole email text again and again! 😭
