| Capability Summary | Supports starting the share flow from the mail list, the top toolbar, and the email detail area, then sending the email to an existing chat or a newly created group chat. | Outlook can share an email to a Teams chat or channel, with attachments and an optional message. | Gmail can share an email in Google Chat and keep the email context linked in chat. | Notion Mail focuses on inbox management, views, and notifications; its public help pages do not describe a direct email-to-chat sharing flow like this one. | Acrobat mainly supports sharing PDF files by email, with a focus on document sending and review rather than sharing mailbox emails into chat. |
