Notion Mail is out of beta

I haven't tried it yet, but the Notion Mail Mac app is officially out today, with them saying the iOS app is coming out soon as well.

I've been intrigued by their unique features mentioned in beta videos like command palettes, special layouts based on user defined email fields, and natural language example-based filtering. So this could be of interest to some of our never-ending quests for a mail client that doesn't drive us crazy.

How is this 'better' than the default mail application on MacOS, which is free.

Also it requires a Google account? No thank you.

I believe all the base functionality is free in it, but so far it's seeming like anything AI-related (maybe even the natural language filters?) requires the paid AI plan.

I am liking the VSCode style keyboard driven command palette stuff, and am intrigued by the the special layouts around custom fields on the emails (I'm picturing workflows like keeping track of whether an email thread is a to-do, waiting on someone else's response, etc.).

Also it requires a Google account? No thank you.

Yeah, I'm disappointed by that, I thought it was going to be a general purpose mail client from the stuff released in the beta. Maybe it'll eventually become that?

Since you need to pay for most stuff and it requires a Google account: no for me.
