Don't have your Tasktop in front of you? You can create new tasks in Tasktop from any web
enabled device. If you have a Gmail, configure Tasktop's Gmail integration. Once configured, set up a new rule online at your Gmail account to automatically tag email with the subject "new task" with your @Tasktop tag (or the tag you chose as your special Tasktop specific tag). Upon sending yourself an email with the subject "new task - prepare report for board meeting", it will get tagged with @Tasktop and subsequently be synchronized to your personal Task List in your Tasktop. Note that this can also be arranged for any IMAP accounts that offer similar rule based filtering of incoming messages. To get started with this you must configure the advanced IMAP connector that comes with Tasktop Spring 2008. |
| Tasktop's Gmail integration works with
Google Apps (for your domain) Simply set up a Gmail task repository and be sure to enter your full Google Apps email address for the User ID. Set up a query in your task list as usual. |
| Use the Notes section of the email task
editors as an editable description when necessary. When working with email tasks, the original message may not clearly define the task objective. Copy the text that best defines the task and paste it into the Notes section within the editor just above the Original Message. The Notes section will be automatically expanded on subsequent opening making the task objective always clear and visible. |
