      They forced us to change to outlook and then didnt just replace the name, it became a subfolder under outlook. Microsoft sucks

    Well to be fair it does say this in the FAQ section on their product page:

    Q: Which email provider(s) will Notion Mail be compatible with?

    A: Notion Mail will integrate seamlessly with Google and Gmail accounts at initial launch.

    I assume this is because they are using Google’s APIs to access your email and just add some extra bells and whistles on top of that.

    Makes it utterly worthless to me, though. I’m trying to slowly REMOVE Google and Gmail from my life, not get locked in on using it.

        I can’t make any recommendations, as having a desktop or alternative email client isn’t what concerns me - I just want a non-Google provider. I’m currently using Proton.

          How rough was the switch? I can’t imagine changing all my accounts that use my Gmail address, but I’d like to move to something else.

            I’m doing it slowly. Anything new I register with the new email, obviously. I moved over the most important things, and then everything else I switch at the point I come to use that site or service again.

            I keep my gmail available in my browser on the laptop for this purpose, but have signed out from it on phone and removed the app from phone, so the friction encourages me to keep switching things over.

    Notion is a privacy nightmare as is. No way I‘d reroute my mails over their servers. At least Notion and Google are a perfect match.

      That’s funny, went from a pro privacy email host to Notion which likes to collect data from you 😵
