Quick answer

Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client for Gmail, will shut down on September 22, 2026. Users must export settings before this date, as customizations will be lost, though emails will remain in Gmail.

Notion has announced the shutdown of its email client, Notion Mail, which was intended to be a groundbreaking solution for email management. The AI-powered service, integrated with Gmail, will cease operations on September 22, 2026. Initially, the project aimed to turn inboxes into productivity dashboards with advanced features.

Notion Mail offered unique capabilities, including customizable inbox views, AI-generated labels, response templates, and meeting scheduling—all without leaving the app. However, its ambitious vision faced limitations: the service only supported Gmail and Google Workspace, excluding Outlook, iCloud, and other providers, and remained unavailable to Windows users for an extended period.

Users are advised to export all settings—including inbox views, AI labels, templates, and notifications—before the shutdown. Emails will remain in Gmail, as Notion Mail synchronized in real time with Google’s service. The company recommends transitioning to Gmail or another email client to avoid data loss.
