RE: [MLO] Unable to import Outlook email (drag and drop) to Inbox

[m...@grantsmiths.org]

Mark. Nice, catch, seems to be a bug.

Was your inbox empty when you tried this?

I did three tests

1.       Dragged two emails from Outlook and dropped them on an inbox view. The inbox was empty so I was dropping them onto a page of white space. The mouse pointer showed that I could drop here but when I dropped, nothing happened. I didn’t even get the question about whether to create a separate task for each message.

2.       Dragged same two emails to the All Tasks view and dropped them onto the Inbox folder. Worked fine. Got the create-separate-tasks message. Now there are two tasks in my inbox

3.       Dragged same two emails to the Inbox view and dropped them between the two existing tasks. Worked fine. Got the create-separate-tasks message. Now there are four tasks in my inbox

It looks to me as though the problem is not about  the inbox per se as much as dropping onto a blank view.

When I use the inbox view in MLO4, and try and drag an email from Outlook it is not imported, however, if i click on the all tasks and scroll down to the <Inbox> folder, there it works.

A slightly different thing:

I can't create a link to an email in notes of a task by dragging it onto the "Notes" area of the task. What I see in the notes afterwards is:

From    Subject    Received    Size    Categories   
***    Re: *********    16:24       70 KB       

If I drag it over to the task name, it creates a subtask (with a working link to this email in the "Notes" section, which can be copied/pasted to another task).
If it's dragged between task names on the list, a neighbor task is created.

I remember that dragging an email to some area inserted a link to this mail in the notes of a certain task... How do I accomplish this now in MLO4?

Actually it was not a blank view.  But I just found that it appears the position of the cursor is critical.  So I can add a task, but not into a blank space, I have to position the cursor to the left of an existing task... I guess in your case that's going to be difficult without and tasks there.

In the Outline view, the cursor position does not seem to matter....

So there is some inconsistency there..

Thanks for taking a look.

I get the same.  But i have not idea how to get the link your after, sorry...
