About This Feature
Overview
Share via Email is an email-sharing feature in WPS on Windows. It helps you move a selected email into a WPS collaboration chat so a team can continue discussing the same message in a chat workflow.
Key capabilities include:
- Start sharing from the email list when reviewing multiple messages.
- Start sharing from the top toolbar while reading an email.
- Start sharing from the email detail area after checking the message content.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports starting the share flow from the email list, the top toolbar, or the email detail area, then sending the email to an existing chat or a newly created group chat. | Outlook can share an email to Teams chats or channels, including attachments and an optional message. | Gmail can share an email in Google Chat on computer and keep the email context in the chat flow. | Notion Mail focuses on Gmail-based inbox management, composing, and views; the official page does not describe direct email-to-chat sharing inside Notion. | Acrobat can share PDFs by email on desktop, which is a document-sending workflow rather than mailbox-to-chat collaboration. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides three entry points for the same email and supports both existing chats and newly created group chats in one flow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports email sharing to collaboration spaces, but the official page says the Teams desktop app is required and mobile is not supported. | Compared with WPS: Google supports sharing in Chat from Gmail, but the official page says it is mainly for work accounts on computer with Chat enabled in Gmail. | Compared with WPS: the official Notion Mail page focuses on inbox management and composing, not a matching email-to-chat sharing flow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on sending PDF files by email, not moving an email conversation into a chat discussion. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to move an email into a team discussion quickly, WPS keeps the workflow close to the mailbox with multiple entry points and two sharing paths. Microsoft and Google provide adjacent collaboration flows in their own ecosystems, while Notion and Adobe focus more on inbox management or document sending.
