I’ve used this script for a number of years without ever making it public or sharing it. I thought perhaps people might like to see it.
I wrote it up on my blog (which doesn’t usually contain such technical stuff but hey, sometimes it’s good to talk about something different.
Here’s what I wanted to do: when some emails come into any of my multiple inboxes (I have 5 separate google mail accounts that are in regular use) I wanted to be able to flag (automatically or manually) any of these on any of the many devices I check mail for later action in OmniFocus.
I also wanted to maintain a link to the original email that would work on both my Mac and my iPhone. This is incredibly useful so if I need to reply later, I can click and get straight to the correct email thread.
I came up with a system that works for me and may work for other so, in the interests of being a good netzion I’m putting it out there.
You can find the whole explanation and script here at this link
