Experience email at its best. Make productivity your superpower.
In 2024, Tatem announced they are building a fast email experience with a minimal interface (similar to Superhuman), but since then haven't shared many updates.
While it still seems the team might be cooking something up behind the scenes, they've been quiet on social media, so it's hard to say what they may reveal next or when.
Once we get a chance to try Tatem ourselves, we'll update this review, so check back ✨
Personalized to your work and beautifully designed—Notion Mail is the only inbox that makes life simpler.
Notion Mail is Notion's latest attempt to expand its product suite by adding email, but it’s not entirely original. You see, Notion acquired Skiff, an email client known for its privacy features. However, after the acquisition, Notion removed Skiff’s end-to-end encryption and integrated Gmail and Google Workspace instead, disappointing privacy-conscious users (2 million of them).
Functionally, Notion Mail is essentially a Gmail wrapper with a Notion-inspired interface (although expect to pay for the AI features that you’d otherwise get for free with Gmail).
Notion Mail offers a cleaner, more minimalist experience than Gmail, with added AI features like referencing Notion pages while drafting emails. You can also create customizable inbox views using AI-powered labels, which can help organize your emails. However, it lacks deeper database integrations that many Notion enthusiasts hoped for (the general sentiment from users is that they are quite frustrated that you cannot integrate Notion database items with your inbox).
You can declutter your inbox by creating custom views using AI auto-labels or manual rules, but the triage flow isn’t as smooth as with other email apps.
Notion’s auto-labels start strong with natural language prompts but become frustrating over time since you can’t refine or edit them without starting over.
The AI drafting tool lets you reference Notion pages or generate replies, but the writing lacks personality and runs out of credits quickly. We didn’t find the AI useful in day-to-day tasks.
Referencing Notion pages while writing emails sounds useful in theory, but it’s clunky in practice since you often have to go back and manually find the right page.
Snippets are pre-loaded and easy to use via the /command, with intuitive placeholders that speed up repetitive replies.
If you thought Notion Mail would integrate with Notion pages or your database items, think again. That’s not available (yet anyway), leaving hardcore Notion users quite disappointed.
Notion Mail is included with any Notion plan, although you will need to upgrade to pay for AI features ($10/month or $96 annually).
