Introduction
This video reviews Notion Mail, a new email application integrated with Notion. The reviewer tests its functionality, user interface, and overall experience, assessing whether it's a significant improvement or simply another email client.
Key Takeaways
Notion Mail is currently web-based and available as a desktop app for Mac (with a download option during signup). It requires Gmail access; support for other email providers is not yet implemented.
The user interface is minimalist and clean, integrating seamlessly with the Notion aesthetic. Features like side panel navigation and keyboard shortcuts are included. Slash commands, similar to Notion's core application, are also supported.
Some features are still under development. Issues encountered include difficulty adding multiple email accounts and images not loading automatically within emails. Filter functionality for organizing emails requires a two-step process (creating a new view then naming it), and nested folder structures for views are not yet supported.
Despite some limitations, the reviewer notes several positive aspects. These include the quick signup process, smooth sending/receiving of emails, email previews on hover, and the inclusion of templates and snippets. AI features are mentioned, but their functionality wasn't tested.
Overall, Notion Mail shows promise but isn't yet a full email replacement. The lack of multi-account support and some unresolved bugs limit its current versatility.
