This webpage says that using @context will automatically sort the new task into the proper context

https://www.toodledo.com/info/help_email.php

eg - (from the webpage):

Putting it all together, here are some example email subjects that you could send to add a task:

Call Jim !! @phone #today
Finish the Report ! #next friday *ProjectA @work $Active ~1hour
Mow the lawn *Chores @home

Yet, when I send this sort of email, the tasks are simply dropped into "no context"

A lot of people put the @ symbol as the first character of their context name. If you do this, then you would need to send an email with two @s since the first @ tells Toodledo its a context and the second @ is part of the name of your context.

Call Jim @phone looks for a context named "phone".
Call Jim @@phone looks for a context named "@phone".
