Nothing that a better email provider wouldn't fix! Yahoo doesn't support the +<stuff> option in delivery to yahoo addresses (and they are lousy in other ways, too, in my experience). Gmail works much better.

Gmail definitely allows +omnifocus, but I did a _lot_ of testing this week (so far) regarding Mail activating/not activating the applescript attached to the mail rule, and it doesn't always seem to work. When I send from Gmail's web interface to derek+omnifocus@gmail.com (not real address, of course), it works! When I send from Mail.app to derek+omnifocus@gmail.com, it doesn't.
The applescript doesn't even get called, so it looks like it might be a problem isolated entirely within Mail. Work in progress..

Well, it worked the first time anyway. AT&T suddenly seems unable to send a test message to an email account. Figures.

Note that you don't have to use the gmail account for anything else — in fact, it might be better if you don't have anything else configured to download messages from it, to eliminate the chance of the message being marked read before the mail rule gets run (which would make it not run when Mail did finally process the message).

Doesn't seem to work when the iphone uses iMessage service to send to an email address. I tried sending myself a text from my email account and then replying back using sms and it worked fine. Not sure how to force it to use sms? Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks, Jan

Regarding the above, when I went to my iPad I noticed the messages I sent to my gmail acct from my phone were picked up by iMessage on my iPad. That gmail acct is also my apple id so thats why but I'm not sure how to fix this problem now.

Thanks blackketter, I changed mine to just email and not using SMS, and this works like a charm. I had to configure my email server to understand my email address as "pete+omnifocus@" and have that email get delivered to "pete@", and it works just fine.
For those that weren't clear by the instructions, I did this: 1) Turn on the mail rule in OF, checking for +omnifocus in the email 2) Setup my email server to make sure emails sent to "pete+omnifocus@" made it to my email address called "pete@". Note that gmail users probably don't have to worry about this, since +anything on your email address gets auto-delivered to your gmail box. 3) Setup an address book entry for "Omni Focus", with the email address as "pete+omnifocus@" 4) Launch Siri, and say "Email Omni Focus" 5) Grin madly! Welcome Siri to OmniFocus! Buh bye Evernote! I finally don't need you... Quote:
