I have found that nothing leaves the inbox on synch without a project assigned. However, you can drag an item to a context in the actions section (even the wrong context) and on the next synch it will go to the proper context in actions. You can also drag something from the inbox to deferred and it will stay there after synching - but it is a little tricky to drag and drop - sometimes it winds up making another section equal to "Actions" and "Deferred." I too would like to know how to mark something in the inbox so it would automatically move to deferred on the next synch.
