Help me with my Mail <-> OF workflow Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I have a hole in my Mail <-> OF workflow that I need some help with. Here's what I do now:

I use the clip-o-tron to create an action in OF from an email. I don't like leaving emails in my inbox, so I then move the email to a "Pending" mailbox. Then, sometime later, I complete the action and check it off in OF. Here's the hole: I now need to get back to Mail to delete/refile the original email. Right now I do this manually, but that means I often forget to do so, so my "Pending" folder gets cluttered up with tasks I've already done. This is Not Good.

So how can I improve this? Is there a technological fix in OF? Can I somehow get OF to send me back automagically to Mail upon completion of the task? Or do I have to redesign my workflow some way to fill this hole? Any suggestions welcome.
