Hi Folks, Has anyone figured out a method to quickly and preferably using shortcut keys to turn Outlook desktop emails into MLO tasks using primarily keyboard just as you would normally drag and drop emails into MLO using mouse?
I realize MLO offers: 1. Ability to forward email to MLO cloud email account. This is a bit of an issue as some companies have data security compliance related policies which make this difficult. In addition there chance of failure if email doesn't arrive and/or forcing to remove any possible attachments prior to email going out. 2. Ability to create outlook tasks which sync to MLO, but that seems concerning as it creates a bit of disorganization. Trying to avoid using outlook as a task manager and instead have all tasks solely in MLO. 3. Manually creating task in MLO using CTRL+Shift+M but this method is not ideal as subject / body of email not copied as well as link to open email from within MLO. 4. Using mouse to drag email into MLO; works great. Copies email subject, body and outlook link to MLO exactly as I would want and currently what I am doing. Unfortunately this method is a bit slow for someone that is trying to process emails very rapidly in Outlook based on Tiago Forte Inbox Zero method. He suggest using keyboard shortcuts for very rapid processing of emails. Any emails requiring any action / follow up to go into task manager. In addition I have noticed if you are in "Views" section of MLO Inbox and don't have any other tasks in the inbox than drag and drop doesn't work. You either need to create at least one task manually in the inbox or need to go to active actions list and than can drag and drop into inbox. Essentially slows things down a bit. Ideally it would be nice to see much closer integration between MLO and Outlook desktop (considering this is one of the most used email clients), perhaps through a Outlook DLL COM Add-in that would enable to use keyboard shortcuts within Outlook to quickly turn emails (with subject & body text just like using mouse in method#3) into tasks and perhaps have the DLL COM addon offer additional options to have certain tasks with additional MLO commonly used features like flags and/or other options that are specific to MLO. Has anyone ever wanted this capability and/or found solutions to solve this? Has the MLO team ever considered further more advanced integrations between MLO and Outlook and/or given us some means to integrate ourselves. I would certainly pay for an upgrade to get this capability. Here is the link to Tiago Forte Inbox Zero method for anyone interested in reviewing his suggestions for quickly processing emails. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXdEVeoGRRc Other than that MLO has been a delight to use and I am glad I have come across this wonderful application. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
