I have rigged my hosted Tracks installation to be able to receive emails into an Inbox context I can sort through later.
This allows me to go through my email (gmail, or otherwise) and forward emails to “mygtd@mydomain.com” and have it automatically create a to-do with the subject of the email as the description and the body of the email as a note.
Again, this is somewhat tricky, but if you have the background to do it, I am including source code. In this case, all we have used is a perl script.
I can provide very little support, so hopefully you can get it working. This is something I badly wanted, and found a way to do… I didn’t think I should hoarde the benefits to myself, but neither can I be as much assistance as I would like.
Requirements:
I. You have to run your own email server capable of receiving emails and piping it to a script. If you don’t know what this means, you may not be able to do it.
II. You probably have to be running Tracks in a hosted environment. I have not tried it with anything other than on a linux host.
Once you have created the email address, modify the following script per the comments, and pipe it to the script. It works wonderfully.
