OmniFocus Email to Inbox showing as sync client
I have noticed that in my sync client list within OF1 preferences I now have an additional client linked to my email to OmniFocus address.
I have been using this service for ages, but it has never shown up as a specific client. The only explanation I can come up with is that I shared my unique email address with my wife so she can email tasks directly to my OF inbox. So, two questions: 1) Is this new account actually her iPhone which has emailed in actions?; and 2) Will that new client impact my sync/database compression over time, as it will only ever be used infrequently? |
When I've used Omni's mail-to-inbox service in the past I've noticed this too, but it seems to be temporary.
Perhaps it adds itself as a client to submit the task and removes itself shortly afterwards. |
Aha, interesting! I've just checked my clients again, and the email service is no longer listed.
It seems your hypothesis may be correct. |
Hi! Yes, psidnell is correct. When you use Mail Drop, the Mail Drop system registers as an additional sync client (named "Email-to-OmniFocus"). It will pretend to "sync" regularly, and eventually unregister itself after a period of inactivity, in order to avoid slowing down your sync and compaction times.
