Can You Use Gmail instead of Outlook With MYN or 1MTD?

March 10, 2012

I get this question periodically: Can you use Gmail with MYN or 1MTD? The answer is YES.

Often this question is from people migrating from Outlook. If you do leave Outlook I recommend you use ToodleDo for tasks. My 1MTD book talks about how to configure and use it for MYN (get a free PDF of that book here). Don’t try to use the Gmail tasks system for MYN—not enough features (there are ways to use Gmail tasks for 1MTD, I’ll write them up someday, but they offer no upgrade path to MYN, so I’d avoid starting there).

Once using ToodleDo and MYN, you can use any email system, including Gmail, to copy tasks into ToodleDo. And for filing mail you can use Gmail “Labels” just like Outlooks Categories. Use the Archive space just like the Processed Mail folder in Outlook. It all works!

Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating everyone leave Outlook for Gmail… I still like Outlook e-mail and calendar better—I feel it has more features, especially for the business user. But you have the freedom of choice in MYN & 1MTD to use any e-mail system.
