I recently wrote about how I miss Inbox by Gmail but am generally satisfied with Gmail. However, I was keen to explore other options. As someone who frequently uses both Notion and Notion Calendar, giving the new Notion Mail a try seemed like a logical step.

I’ve been testing it out over the last few days and have formed a pretty firm opinion. It’s impressive in many aspects, surpassing Gmail on several fronts. However, it’s still a work in progress and is missing a few key ingredients that I value, so I’ll be sticking with Gmail for now. Here’s why.
