However, Notion urged users to export drafts and scheduled emails by September 21, as they will not be automatically carried over to the alternative app. Notion noted that users can also save their Notion Mail setup and “export your snippets and auto label instructions to use elsewhere.”
“If you have auto labels set up in Notion Mail, you won’t need to create it again. Create a custom agent in just a few clicks, and we’ll bring over your existing rules for you,” X Post explained. “And if you’re already running Notion agents to manage email, they’ll keep running. Your email connection to Notion remains in place.”
Organizations that relied on Notion Mail in a regulated environment may have to transition away from Notion Mail first.
“If you rely on HIPAA coverage, you should plan to discontinue Notion Mail by June 30, 2026,” Notion’s support page reads.
Skiff reportedly served 2 million users, giving tough competition to rivals like Proton Mail before the Notion acquisition. As a Gmail client that did not support end-to-end encryption, Notion’s AI-centric approach to email lacked the privacy focus that Skiff had as an email provider. Still, Notion Mail was built with Skif’s infrastructure and by former Skif executives, making its impending demise feel like a swan song of sorts for Skif.
Although Notion is killing its Skif-influenced email client, it may continue to take advantage of human resources and other productivity ideas (around calendars and storage, for example) acquired through its Skif acquisition as it tries to compete more strongly against rivals like Google Workspace. However, Notion has deviated from releasing a direct follow-up product to Skiff’s portfolio.
