Nonetheless, Notion urged users to export drafts and scheduled emails by September 21, since those won’t robotically carry over to another app. Notion noted that users also can save their Notion Mail setups and “export your snippets and auto label instructions to make use of elsewhere.”
“If you could have auto label arrange in Notion Mail, you won’t should rebuild it. Create a Custom Agent in just a few clicks, and we’ll bring your existing rules over for you,” the X post explained. “And for those who’re already running Notion agents to administer email, they’ll proceed running. Your email connection in Notion stays in place.”
Organizations that relied on Notion Mail in a regulated environment might need to transition from Notion Mail earlier.
“In the event you depend on HIPAA coverage, you must plan to transition off Notion Mail by June 30, 2026,” Notion’s support page reads.
Skiff reportedly served 2 million users, giving rivals like Proton Mail a run for his or her money before the Notion acquisition. As a Gmail client that didn’t support end-to-end encryption, Notion’s AI-centric approach to email lacked the privacy focus that Skiff carried as an email provider. Still, Notion Mail was built with Skiff’s infrastructure and by former Skiff executives, making its impending demise feel like a form of swan song for Skiff.
Although Notion is killing its Skiff-influenced email client, it could proceed leveraging the human resources and other productivity ideas (around calendars and storage, as an illustration) gained through its Skiff acquisition because it tries to compete more strongly against rivals like Google Workspace. Notion, nevertheless, has strayed from releasing direct follow-up products to Skiff’s portfolio.
