Hi all,

I'm coming from blackberry and todomatrix. They had a nice feature of injecting emails into the app. Does OF have anything similar?

Thanks!

Disclaimer: I'm not an engineer, so take this with a grain of salt.

As far as I know, the iPhone SDK makes it fairly easy to send email from an app, but reading/processing messages is another matter. I think we'd have to basically add an email app to OmniFocus in order to do this. Third-party apps are mostly prevented from accessing each others' data as a security measure; we can't really read/interact with the messages in Mail.

That said, it never hurts to send email to the support ninjas and let them know you'd like to see this added in the future. Thanks!

If I understand whay you need, you should use "send-to-omnifocus": just send your mail to send-to-omnifocus@omnigroup.com, you'll receive back a mail with a "send-to-omnifocus" link, just click it, and it's done! your mail is clipped in OF.
Regards.

There is a app eMailGanizer. In this app you can send an email to OF.

The behavior depends on which link you use. In my experience, the link above the text (in the gray bar) injects the whole e-mail while the one below the text just adds the first couple of lines of the e-mail.

Another option to look into is the web service Spootnik. Specifically here, it offers a direct email address to send things / forward emails to. It works similarly to the send to omnifocus option from Omni, but doesn't require the response to that email.

Spootnik also give you a web interface you can view and interact with in any browser (read: access your OF database IN WINDOWS). Part of this also includes sync via WebDav.

If you are interested, it can also be used to sync with Basecamp...
