Turning emails into MLO tasks

[tempo...@gmail.com]

Dear MLOers,

I hope everyone is well.

I'm wondering if there is a way of turning an Outlook email into an MLO task? I can turn said email into an Outlook task (by clicking the little red flag) and I can turn an Outlook task into an MLO task via the Outlook sync, but this Outlook sync doesn't seem to sync those tasks that started off life as an email.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks,
David

There is a way to set up an email address of the form x...@sync.mylifeorganized.net, in such a way that if you forward an email to that address it will land up in your MLO Inbox. Perhaps someone can clarify the steps as I have forgotten how I did it!

Once you have set that up, it helps for keeping the email at Inbox Zero, as emails which are moved to MLO can often be archived.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know how to do this please?

This is a function of cloud sync.

Cloud sync is a wonderful way of keeping your tasks updated across your multiple computers, tablets and phones. It is also a pretty good way of saving a copy of your tasks that you can recover in the event on a disaster striking your only copy (like, left your iphone in your jeans and laundered them.) It also offers a way to send in an email that shows up as a task in your saved profile. You can find the details including the monthly subscription price at http://www.mylifeorganized.net/cloud.shtml. If you subscribe, I think that it will invite you to create a "Tasks By Email" (TBE) address at some point in the setup. If you subscribe and you  don't see the signup for TBE, come back here and I (or someone else) will give you the step-by-step directions.

It has been a few years since I used Outlook. Back in the day, you could use drag&drop to copy an email into an MLO task list. Have you tried that?

Drag and drop still works and this nice thing is it creates a link in the task notes to the email; both will copy the email text to the task notes.

I have a cloud sync subscription and used to use email to inbox function. It stopped working when I reset the passwrod and It wont work with new password. My "SMPT Server" is blank, Port number 578 and use SSL is checked. Also, as it's gmail, I don't have username apart from the email address. Is that what I enter for the user name section? SOrry to ask here but can't find the setup walkthrough anywhere.

Thanks 

Niall
