Todoist+Thunderbird

My working life has just been thrown into turmoil!

Having settled happily on eM Client as my Outlook equivalent (I loathe Outlook), albeit after flirting briefly with the latest EssentialPIM and its rather good - but also rather slow - mail client, I’ve just discovered the Todoist extension for Mozilla Thunderbird.

What a neat piece of software! You can drag e-mails out of Thunderbird’s inbox(es) and drop them into the Todoist window, whereupon they automatically become tasks. Very simple, but also very efficient. Said tasks are then synchronised across all one’s Todoist clients (mobile as well).

As people may remember, Todoist is one of the better outliner-style task managers around. I’m still waiting for their iPad-optimised client, but I know they’re working away on it.

So now I have to decide whether I chuck in eM Client and go back to Thunderbird (which has also been streamlined since the last time I looked at it). Rats!
