Notion Mail shuts down amid agent takeover

Notion Mail 在 AI 智能体浪潮下宣布关停

Productivity company Notion is shutting down its email product, Notion Mail, on September 22. The company said it is discontinuing its email inbox in favor of its AI agent offering. It noted that users were increasingly handing over the reins of their email to the agents, and not opening their inbox at all.

生产力工具公司 Notion 将于 9 月 22 日关闭其电子邮件产品 Notion Mail。该公司表示,为了专注于其 AI 智能体(AI agent)业务,决定停止提供电子邮件收件箱服务。公司指出,越来越多的用户倾向于将邮件处理权交给 AI 智能体,甚至根本不再打开收件箱。

“As Notion agents have gotten more capable, we’ve seen more users hand off email workflows to them. Today, more than half of Notion Mail users manage emails without ever opening their inbox. So, we’re going all in on using agents to run your inbox,” the company said in a post on X.

“随着 Notion 智能体功能日益强大,我们发现越来越多的用户将邮件工作流交由它们处理。如今,超过半数的 Notion Mail 用户在管理邮件时根本无需打开收件箱。因此,我们将全力投入,通过智能体来接管您的收件箱,”该公司在 X 上发文称。

Notion Mail is connected with Gmail, meaning all emails in the inbox will stay intact. However, users will need to export drafts and scheduled emails if they want to keep them. The company said that users can export snippets and auto-label instructions and use them elsewhere and emphasized that Notion’s email-based agents will keep working post-Notion Mail shutdown.

Notion Mail 与 Gmail 相连,这意味着收件箱中的所有邮件都将保持完整。不过,如果用户希望保留草稿和定时发送的邮件,则需要手动导出。该公司表示,用户可以导出代码片段(snippets)和自动标签指令并在其他地方使用,并强调 Notion 基于邮件的智能体在 Notion Mail 关闭后仍将继续工作。

Notion announced its email product in preview mode in 2024 after it acquired security-centric productivity startup Skiff. The company aimed to integrate email with Notion AI with features like auto-labeling, filtering, and handling scheduling for users. The company made the product available to users in April 2025 to better compete with the likes of Superhuman and Fyxer. Newer startups like AgentMail are in step with Notion’s thesis and are trying to build an email service specifically for agents.

Notion 在收购了主打安全性的生产力初创公司 Skiff 后,于 2024 年推出了处于预览阶段的电子邮件产品。该公司旨在通过自动标签、过滤和处理日程安排等功能,将电子邮件与 Notion AI 进行整合。为了更好地与 Superhuman 和 Fyxer 等竞品竞争,该公司于 2025 年 4 月向用户全面开放了该产品。目前,像 AgentMail 这样的新兴初创公司正与 Notion 的理念不谋而合,致力于构建专门为智能体服务的电子邮件系统。
