Notion is shutting down its email client, Notion Mail, on September 22, after acquiring the encrypted email startup Skiff in February 2024 and launching the Gmail client in April 2025. The company stated that more than half of Notion Mail users manage emails without opening their inbox, instead relying on AI agents to handle email workflows, prompting Notion to focus its efforts on AI-powered email management rather than maintaining a traditional email interface.
