Create a task from an email

🍱 Features & apps 💌 Mail

Many people I know use emails as a todo list.
I was thinking about a way to create a nextcloud/task from a nextcloud/email.
The task should have the email object as subject.
Mozilla/Thunderbird offers a similar feature.
Anyone thinks this could be useful?

See email to task issue #128. This is an open feature request at this time.

Hello,
I am also interested in this function. Thread started from 2018. Anything already known? Please do not send me to another link. They are looped. Still no solution?

Hi @LozaP, the open feature request is in my previous post to yours.

Nope.

WOW. What a quick answer. And if you can add more options, e.g. from an e-mail to the calendar, but without a date - I could also treat it as a task. The problem is that if I add a day, I have to move it. It was also good to be able to add the statuses of this schedule.

It seems you could try to prefill a calendar event from a URL

Open calendar with title and/or description and/or alarms query params (e.g.
index.php/apps/calendar/dayGridMonth/now/new/sidebar/0/1620943200/1621029600?title=tit&description=desc&alarms=%5B%7B"type"%3A"EMAIL","totalSeconds"%3A300%7D%5D)

Edit: It seems since August you can now create a calendar Event / Task from the Mail app

Give it a test in the Mail app and let us know.
