exotherm	Posted Jul 27, 2011 in: Toodledo Redesign - July 2011 Score: 2 exotherm Posted: Jul 27, 2011 Score: 2 Posted by emontellese: First off -- love the redesign! One request though -- can the quick-add box take the special syntax that the email import does? This would make it faster to quickly add new tasks without having to tab through the options. https://www.toodledo.com/info/help_email.php +1 here, adding syntax support to quick add would be great!

You need to turn on the email import feature in Toodledo first and paste in your private toodledo email address ([email protected]).

exotherm	Posted Apr 27, 2011 in: Outlook 2011 for Mac to ToodleDo Score: 1 exotherm Posted: Apr 27, 2011 Score: 1 Hi Everybody, Have a Mac? Use Outlook 2011 for email? Use Toodledo? If yes to all three, here is an Applescript to automatically make a Toodledo task from an email item in Outlook. You can use the Toodledo syntax to name the task, star it, assign prorities, etc. The email message body will be added to the task as a note automatically. Don't use your email inbox as a to do list! :) To set it up, turn on the Toodledo email service (http://www.toodledo.com/connect_email.php). Next, open Applescript Editor (just start typing that into Spotlight and it will come up). Create a new script, then paste the code below into the new window. Change the Toodledo email address "[email protected]" (near the end of the script) to the address supplied by the Toodledo email service page. Save the file as "ToodledoTaskMaker" or something and save it in the User:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Outlook Script Menu Items folder. Now you can access it from Outlook via the little script icon in the menu bar.
