You are using the wrong e-mail address, read more in help. There's info on the syntax, but basically your subject becomes the task name. Everything below "---" (if I remember correctly) becomes the note.

Check in settings for the other e-mail address.

peterclark,
To round out what rajjan already said, check the "How to add a task via email" section on our email page. (It sounds like what you're currently doing is outlined in the "How to import a list via email" section. You don't want to use the Import address, i.e. username+abc123+import@rmilk.com.)

Hope this helps!

"By default, your task will appear in your Inbox. If you want the task to appear in a different list, you can do so with the following:

"List: Work or L: Work"

I can't get this to work - always appears in Inbox, not work.

I have tried "List: Work", "L: Work", at the beginning and end of what I type, and even in the subject line alongside the task name. No joy!

Any further tips? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Is Work a regular list or a smart list?
Also, there seems to be a " " (space) between List: and Work

drdamski,
Would it be possible to submit an Emailing Tasks issue report via our support system, if you haven't done so already?

Just select your issue from the list on the left, and follow the steps shown. If your issue isn't listed, click on "I'd like to report a new issue".

Your report should provide all the info that we need to investigate further, but we'll be in touch via email if we require any more details.

Thanks!

Hi - many thanks - I have submitted an issue report to request help on this.

As far as I understand it this is a regular list and not a smart list.

I only have two: Inbox, and Work.

Cheers!
