Notion’s email product is nearing launch | TechCrunch
Notion seems to be close to launching its email product called Notion Mail according to multiple sources.
Earlier this year, Notion acquired Skiff, a privacy-focused email service and app. At the time, Skiff said that it would provide a 12-month sunset window to users so that they have enough time to migrate to a different email service.
For months, users on Reddit have shared hints of Notion working on its email product. Some folks found the development environment URL, others reportedly found the login page to the email product.
At the time of writing, when TechCrunch entered mail.notion.so
in a web browser, “Notion Mail” appeared briefly as the page title with a mail logo… But we were then redirected to Notion’s main login page.
On mobile, the mail.notion.so
URL redirects to notion.so/product/email
… But the page displays an error message saying “Sorry, that page cannot be found.”
We reached out to Notion for a comment, but the company didn’t respond at the time of writing.
The company seems to be adding more products to its productivity suite to expand beyond its main knowledge base platform. Earlier this year, Notion launched a standalone calendar app based on its acquisition of Cron.
A secure email service on top of it would be another offering for Notion to attract more users and better compete with productivity suites from bigger tech companies, such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Interestingly, Notion has an event today where the company is supposedly announcing new products.
