Notion, the maker of a popular eponymous note-taking app, appears to be [1]getting ready to launch its own email product , called Notion Mail, TechCrunch reported Thursday, citing sources. From the report:
> 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.

I think you're going for Funny (with a vacuous Subject), but if you don't think there is room for improvement in email, then you aren't paying attention. LOTS of features I could mention, even a few that I've advocated for and which have become "standard features". (No credit to me. Just obvious solutions and stuff that should have failed the obviousness test, notwithstanding any patents granted anyway.)
Pointless, especially on Slashdot, to write about solutions, but you can't stop me from describing the ma

A gentle reminder about The Patriot Act and what has happened to other so-called "privacy based" services hosted on US territory, where a secret order is delivered, demanding backdoor access, under secrecy and extreme penalty. We've seen this happen with the many "vpn" services, which were really mechanisms of surveillance.
Sound paranoid? Do some homework, it happens with frequency.
