It&#8217;s to use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toodledo.com\/tools\/bookmarklet.php\">ToodleDo&#8217;s Bookmarklet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->You install it in your web browser. Once installed, with the email window open in your web browser, you simply click the ToodleDo Bookmarklet button, and a ToodleDo task window opens with the URL of that message copied into the body of the task. So just enter a task title, date it, prioritize it, and you are done; the task gets saved to your ToodleDo account.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is a bit faster than going through the e-mail forwarding steps in most mail systems, and you don&#8217;t need to memorize the &#8220;codes&#8221; to set priorities and dates.<\/p>\n<p>Some limitations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This only works if the e-mail system opens in it&#8217;s own window for each message&#8212;so most reading-pane style e-mail web readers (for example Outlook Web Access ) won&#8217;t work because the URL doesn&#8217;t change with each message.<\/li>\n<li>Note it copies the e-mail&#8217;s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">URL<\/span> into the task, not the e-mail <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">contents<\/span>. The forwarding method actually copies the contents, which might be better.<\/li>\n<li>The Bookmarklet may not be installable on tablet browsers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the ToodleDo URL from which you can read more and install this:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toodledo.com\/tools\/bookmarklet.php\">http:\/\/www.toodledo.com\/tools\/bookmarklet.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dec 24, 2012 If you&#8217;ve followed my writings or posts on ToodleDo, or taken my Video Course on using ToodleDo with MYN, then you know the way you create ToodleDo tasks from e-mail (from any e-mail system) is to forward &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/toodledo-creating-tasks-from-gmail-another-method\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1691"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1698,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1691\/revisions\/1698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
