Email as action item on iPad Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes

I've been reading up on this and I think I'll do something similar with a pending queue.

If I know my Mac is running then I'll use the +@omnifocus rule

If I know (or suspect) my Mac is logged out/asleep/off then I'll leave the email in the inbox (*gasp* I KNOW! But stick with me).

When I'm done with processing I know I'll only have emails with actions remaining.

Then switch to Safari, go to gmail.com and (if you use the low bandwidth HTML version) each email will have a unique link.

So... Open the mail, hit the add to omnifocus bookmarklet and there you go, a link to the mail in notes and you're ready to verb your task.

Anyone else use this method? Seems the simplest so far for Gmail users who pull Gmail into Mail on iPad.

Until OG add an 'email task to OF address' service using their servers to parse mails into tasks (a la Evernote) I think this is the best route.
