Newton is an email management application for iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and ChromeOS developed by CloudMagic, Inc. The application is known for its searching capabilities, cross-platform abilities and user interface.[1][2] It has been referred to as an email client better than Gmail's native app.[3][4] As from September 15, 2016, CloudMagic has been renamed to Newton Mail with premium services, adding a host of new features and functions.[5]

On August 7, 2018, it was announced that Newton would shut down effective September 25, 2018.[6]

Newton was reopened on February 5, 2019, after being acquired by Essential Products.[7] On February 12, 2020, Essential announced they were shutting down, including Newton's services. Newton will continue to run until April 30, 2020, after which point it will shut down as well.[8] However, Newton Mail said on their website that they have identified an anonymous partner who could possibly keep Newton running after the closing date of April 30, 2020.

On May 13, 2020, Simform and SoFriendly announced the acquisition and relaunch of Newton Mail.[9]

On July 24, 2024, it was announced that Newton would shut down effective July 31, 2024. 50 % of prorated refunds will be provided to paid users and all user data will be deleted.[10]
