Can I get a hint on - How do I email a task into my Inbox
I use the gmail domain stuff that google provides, so my address isn't a gmail address but uses their interface. I fully understand the concept of the codes to put your forwarded email to a list or with a due date, but it just isn't working for me.. Is there a space after the code like in the body of the forwarded email is the correct syntax to be;
due:, or List:,
I am trying all the variations of no space, 1 space, and I can't get the emailed tasks to do anything but go to inbox.
I'm making sure I'm on the first line of the new email too, but I just cant get it to work reliably. Any tips on what I'm not doing right? Thanks

Can you give an example of an email you've tryied?
I just sent one with this as the first line;
Due:4/15/09- didn't register a due date-(No space after colon)
Some other older ones I made include-
Due:Sunday
List: Business
or another-
Due: April 18 (this with a space, still didn't register a due date.)
These all just go to my inbox with no due date or other lists like I intend.
Thanks..

Hi jeff.franke,
One thing that may be worth double checking is whether your email has a signature or a disclaimer at the end -- if so, after the tasks details you'll need to include '-end-' on a line by itself, and everything after this line will be ignored (otherwise there may be some problems processing the task details).
If you still experience problems, please feel free to submit an issue report via our support system -- we can check things out and try and figure out what's happening here.
Thanks! :)

I think that the 3 hyphen thing works for me because the forwarded email becomes a note like I want. There are at least three hyphens in the line after my task email, which are from the header line on the forwarded email. I'll put a hard break in like you suggest and see if I get any different result. I'll try another email client too. Thanks everybody for tossing in ideas. I'll follow up after Tax Day! Now where's my task list?????

Hi Jeff,
I think the problem might be the line:
----end
This line needs to be this instead:
-end-
Hope this helps!

Hi all, I am checking back to say all I can get the emailed tasks to do is go to inbox. None of the switches for sending to a task list or putting a due date are working for me in Chrome on Vista, or Firefox. Its got to be something with my Google domain mail I guess. I should try it with Thunderbird, but I think I did.

I tested from my Google Apps domain address and couldn't exactly reproduce the problem. Some ideas:
1. Spaces aren't necessary; you could try List:Bills and see if that makes a difference (though it worked both ways for me).
2. It shouldn't matter whether you're using Thunderbird or Gmail to send it.
3. The only time I couldn't get it to work was when I tried List: "Test List"; not sure how I'd specify it if the List had a space in it.
Could you post another example now that you've resolved the "-end-" part?
