Notion is shutting down its AI email client Notion Mail on September 22, less than six months after its April 2025 launch. The company found that more than half of Notion Mail users were delegating email management to AI agents and never opening the inbox themselves, so it is redirecting resources to focus on agent-driven email automation instead of maintaining the email app.

Notion announced it is discontinuing Notion Mail, its AI-powered email client, on September 22. The service launched in April 2025 and will shut down across web, desktop, and iOS. Users can export their data starting June 25, with a final deadline of September 21.
Why it matters
Notion said more than half of Notion Mail users were managing emails without opening their inbox at all, delegating the work to AI agents. Rather than continue the email app itself, the company is shifting focus entirely to letting AI agents handle inbox workflows on users' behalf—a signal that automation may be becoming the primary value proposition in email rather than the interface itself.
What to watch
Users must export any data they want to keep by September 21; emails in Gmail will remain, but drafts and scheduled emails will be deleted permanently if not saved. The company is encouraging users to export snippets and auto-label setups before the shutdown date.
