Navigate your inbox

Notion Mail’s left-hand sidebar is where you can find all of the ways your mail is organized. At the top of the sidebar, you’ll see the following:

• Your name — click on it to access your Settings, switch accounts, or log out.

• 📝, which you can click to start a new email. Learn more about composing emails here →

The first section you’ll see in your sidebar is a Views section. Simply put, views are ways of organizing your emails in ways that are most helpful to you.

When you get started with Notion Mail, you’ll see some views already in your sidebar. As you create more views, you’ll see them in the Views sidebar section. Ready to create your own view? Dive into views in this article →

The Mail section of your sidebar contains the following folders:

• All Mail: This is where all of your mail lives, including your archived emails.
