Problem with Mail to OmniFocus Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
OSX 10.4.11
Powerbook G4 1.33

No it doesn't work at all for me. I have been working my way through the manual and this has been the first real problem. The email just sits there unread and nothing appears in OF
 
I have come up with the solution to my problem.

I was sending mail from my work address. I had added this to the OF prefs. My anti-spam software was getting in the way though. It had previously noted mail from my work address as spam. I had trained it to recognise mail from my work address as ham, but it insisted on sending the mail to the spam folder all the same.

To get around this I had set up a rule to force mail from my work address to go to the Inbox some time ago.

Once I deleted this rule I then noticed for some reason that the anti-spam software had sorted itself out and was sending the mail from work to the Inbox and the removal of the rule meant that OF was now playing nicely with Mail and pulling those mailed actions into my Inbox.

If you are having a problem with Mail to OF transfers perhaps a quick look at your Mail rules might give you the answer too?
 
I was having the same issue. I set the Mail Rule in OmniFocus to process subjects starting with "--" and archive the messages into a Mail folder called "OmniFocused". The emails were marked read and filed into the OmniFocused folder, but the action(s) never showed up in my OmniFocus inbox.

The solution turned out to be pretty simple in my case. Adding a space between the "--" and action title in my message subject caused the actions to be created in OmniFocus. i.e. - "-- my action" = good; "--my action" = bad

In the body of the email message, having the space after the "--" did not have any affect for additional actions. However, there did need to be at least one blank return line between actions. i.e. - this i okay for the message subject:
--my first action

-- my second action

This was on Mac OS 10.4.11 with OmniFocus 1.0.1 sneakypeek (v77.1.3.0.97557), with the Mail Clip-O-Tron 3000 enabled.

Here is the error printed to the Console when the subject line didn't have the space after "--" or if there wasn't a blank line between message body actions:

Hope this is helpful to others,

I finally got around to hacking in the applescript. When I added a try block around the "tell application OmniFocus" I find out that an error is being generated when i try to talk to OF: "No user interaction allowed." What do I do now?
 
I've never had any success with the feature - nothing has ever arrived in my Inbox.

I know nothing about Applescript etc. but does the following from my console suggest the script doesn't work?

I'm getting the identical errors in the console log. I've tried all of the suggestions in this thread without success.
 
.sdef errors mean that the system is having trouble parsing one of the files in the mail plugin for some reason. If you try uninstalling and reinstalling the clip-o-tron, do the errors persist?
 
I didn't have clipping enabled, so I enabled it and restarted mail and omnifocus but still got the identical errors.
 
We'll probably want to get some screenshots of your OF preferences and the mail messages you're having trouble with, so the best thing to do at this point is to contact the support ninjas at omnifocus@omnigroup.com.
 
Count me in with the collective frustration. After being lured to this application after purchasing the iPhone app, I have spent the entire day trying to resolve the mail-to-Omnifocus issue with no luck whatsoever.

I downloaded the sneakypeek version then deleted it after a couple of crashes. I am now running the latest full release. Could the prior SP version have anything to do with my troubles?

Without the emil function, I couldn't justify switching over to this app. Please help!

Brett
