Notion Mail

Updated: March 29, 2025

What Exactly Is Notion Mail?

In short, it's just a wrapper around your Gmail inbox. It's an email client that connects to your Gmail and lets you manage your emails in Notion.

How it differs from Gmail?

Gmail is the email service that lets you send and receive emails. It stands on its own. Notion Mail is a client that acts as an interface to your Gmail. If Gmail's servers are down, Notion Mail won't be able to send or receive emails.

What’s Notion Mail Bringing to the Table?

So, what’s the big deal with Notion Mail? It’s all about making email play nice with the rest of your Notion setup. You can tweak your inbox to look and feel like a Notion page — think custom views sorted by project or deadline.

Then there’s the AI angle: Notion’s AI can sort your emails, draft quick replies, or even archive stuff you don’t need to deal with. It’s like having a sidekick who’s obsessed with keeping your inbox tidy.

Notion Mail hooks up with Notion Calendar, so you can schedule meetings right from an email without bouncing between apps. You can also save emails as snippets in your Notion workspace. It’s not about doing everything Gmail can’t — it’s about doing it in a way that fits your workflow.

What Are Users Saying?

The feedack is mixed so far.

Some users are all in — one X user raved, "Notion Mail fixed emails for me. I'd been waiting for something like this since Google killed Inbox."

But it's not all smooth sailing. A Reddit commenter pointed out, "The automations don't let me send an email to a linked client from my clients database… rendering it pretty much useless for freelancers like me."

Since it's still in beta, hiccups are expected. The @NotionMail team is already sharing updates on fixes, so things should improve as the kinks get ironed out.

Future Outlook: Where It Falls Short (For Now)

• Gmail Only: Right now, it only supports Gmail accounts. If you're on Outlook or another provider, you'll need to sit tight for broader compatibility.
• Laggy UI/UX: Some users have noticed lag.
• Web-Only Access: You're limited to using it on the web — no mobile or desktop apps yet.

These are typical growing pains for a beta release.

Should You Give Notion Mail a Shot?

The real kicker is that Notion Mail feels built for people who already live in Notion. If that’s not you, it’s probably not worth the switch — Gmail’s totally fine.
