When do I need to move off Notion Mail?

Most users should export their drafts and scheduled emails by September 21. If you rely on HIPAA coverage, you must plan to transition off Notion Mail by June 30, 2026.

Will my email settings be lost?

No. Notion stated that if you have auto-label rules set up, you can create a Custom Agent in a few clicks and Notion will bring your existing rules over. If you are already running Notion agents to manage email, they will continue running and your email connection in Notion stays in place.

What was Skiff before Notion acquired it?

Skiff was an email provider that served 2 million users and competed with services like Proton Mail. Notion Mail was built with Skiff's infrastructure and by former Skiff executives.

3 Key Points

What happened
Notion announced it is discontinuing Notion Mail, its email client built on Skiff's infrastructure after acquiring the company. Users must export drafts and scheduled emails by September 21, and those relying on HIPAA coverage must transition off by June 30, 2026. Existing auto-labeling rules and agent configurations will migrate to Notion's custom agent system.
Why it matters
Notion Mail represented Notion's attempt to compete in productivity through an AI-centric email experience, but the shutdown suggests that traditional email clients are losing ground to AI agents that can autonomously manage tasks. This signals a broader shift in how Notion—and potentially the market—views email's role in work, moving from a standalone product to a feature orchestrated by AI.
What to watch
Notion plans to continue leveraging the human resources and other productivity infrastructure from the Skiff acquisition (such as calendars and storage) to compete against rivals like Google Workspace, even as it abandons the direct email product.
