Now Nozbe really loves your Email - Nozbe will help you Get Email Done!
Michael
Tuesday, March 31
Comments: 13 We’ve discussed how Nozbe integrates with Email here, here and here and while all these posts are still valid, we decided to bring more value to Nozbe+Email marriage as we launched the new way Nozbe is understanding human language Nozbe plays really well with Email now! OK, so let’s review some of the ways Nozbe plays well with email:
Now let’s review all these ways of sending Email to Nozbe in detail: 1. You can send Email to your first project (Inbox) or to any project you like That’s correct. All you have to do is setup your “Nickname” and “PIN” in Nozbe:
And later all you have to do is email Nozbe at: NICKNAME.PIN@nozbe.us or NICKNAME.PIN.PROJECT_NAME@nozbe.us It’s important to bear in mind, that you have to use the nozbe.us domain not any other nozbe domain name and also that you change space into an underscore “_” in the project name. Examples: mike.1234@nozbe.us – to email my first project mike.1234.office_purchases@nozbe.us – to email my “Office Purchases” project. - 2. You can send ACTIONS to Nozbe via Email Just write the actions in your email and they will be parsed accordingly. You can use Nozbe’s amazing and easy-to-learn language It’s important that there is an asterisk and a space before each task:
- 3. You can send NOTES to Nozbe via Email Any email with a text and no actions will be treated as a note and added to the project you specify in the email address:
- 4. You can send ACTIONS + NOTES to Nozbe in one Email message This is a new thing and it’s really cool! Imagine you receive an email and want to add some of its contents as a note to your project and in the same time you want to add a series of actions, you can do it like this:
Important: Everything ABOVE the tasks you specify will be added as a note and everything BELOW the tasks will be ignored. We designed it like this so that you don’t have to worry about Signatures or the whole history of conversation being added as a note. Only the part YOU want will be converted to a note. - 5. You can Forward, CC or BCC Nozbe, too! You have asked and we have listened! Just put nozbe’s email in CC or BCC and the correspondence will be added to your Nozbe!
- Hope you like how Nozbe plays with your Email and hope these new enhancements will make you even more productive! Technorati tags: nozbe, gtd, email, productivity Comments:

You may want to recommend that Mike put ‘mike.1234.nozbe_support@nozbe.us’ into the BCC field rather than the CC field in the above example so that questions@nozbe.com doesn’t have access to his nickname, pin and project name.

@ Colin: Michael can access your account. Always. Everything. From any location. All information.
Michael 3 Apr 09 23:38
Urlich, if you’re replying to Colin, I’m sorry but you’re mistaken. You can’t access somone’s account with Nickname and PIN. You have to know the password. You can log in to Nozbe with Email OR Nickname AND a Password. PIN is only being used for Email. Colin, yes, it’s wiser to use BCC than CC anyway, that’s true.

Is it possible to send files to nozbe via email?

Hey Michael, having a problem here: I’m using a KOODO mobile phone to try and email myself. I tested the email feature using my GMAIL account- no problem. The thing is, my koodo phone has an annoying HTML/image signature in the emails it sends, so Nozbe tends to not like them. (notes and tasks dont go through… nada!)- Koodo tags on its advertising crap onto the end of the text message that i send through my phone- Is there anyway you can program in a switch like <end> or <start> </start> so we can tell nozbe to ignore the rest of the email we send to circumvent this?

I am new to this, but I cannot get the email function to work! Ican send the next actions list to my email no problem. I cannot send emails to nozbe. I know it’s not difficult but am I missing something here

Is there any way to send a comment with a task?

I would like it to create a new project if I put a new project name in the email address. That way I could do my daily processing of e-mail very easily. Also, I notice that if there is a line between any of the tasks, it only recognizes up to the line, and not after.

Hi Michael, I am brand new to Nozbe and love the feature that I can forward my e-mails to my ‘inbox’ but somehow I am missing a step. Could you please direct me to the page where I can find the directions. I am using Google apps.
Patrick Lockerman 1 Mar 10 14:30
I just want to forward an email to the inbox but it keeps going to notes instead.
