Notion Shuts Down Skiff-Inspired Email Service
Notion is shutting down its Skiff-influenced email service, Notion Mail, as users increasingly rely on AI agents for email management. Discover how this shift impacts user data and what alternatives are available.
Notion's Bold Move
In a surprising announcement, Notion revealed it will discontinue Notion Mail on September 22, 2025. This decision comes after the acquisition of Skiff, an encrypted email startup, which initially aimed to enhance user experience through AI-driven email management. However, Notion found that over half of its users manage emails without ever accessing their inbox, leading to this strategic pivot.
Notion's focus now shifts entirely to AI agents, which are designed to handle email workflows more efficiently. Users are advised to export any drafts or scheduled emails by September 21, as these will not transfer automatically to other platforms. Notably, while the email service is shutting down, user data will remain intact in Gmail, ensuring that email history is preserved.
- Key Points:
- Notion Mail will cease operations on September 22, 2025.
- Users can export drafts and scheduled emails before the shutdown.
- Most user data will stay in Gmail, ensuring continuity.
- Organizations with HIPAA coverage must transition by June 30, 2026.
