Create a task from an email in Outlook with one click

jaap.kramer says:

I created a simple macro to generate a task from an email in Outlook with just one click on a toolbar button.

When clicking the button the macro will generate a new task in your RTM inbox with the subject of the mail as the task name. 'Email' as a tag and a due time of 'Tomorrow'.



The script must be configured to have your own private RTM Email adress (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answers/sending/emailinbox.rtm). Just open up the downloaded file with notepad and edit the following to meet your configuration:

RTMDueTime = "Tomorow"
RTMTags = "Email"
RTMEmail = "Your RTM Email Adress here"



You can download the macro here:

Wondering how to add it? Just go to the link below and folow the instructions. (replace NewMeetingRequest.bas with RTM.bas)

Forgot to mention that the macro will add the email body content as a note on the generated task.

Dear Jaap,
This is a great script and it works flawless! By using this script you have brought outlook one step closer to DA's Lotus Notes with the eProductivity add-on. Best of all it supports my cross-platform work (mac @home, pc @work), which is always a challenge!

Dank je wel!!
Cheers,
Mathijs

Is this macro Outlook 2007 specific? It's not running for me on 2003.

It's not specific to 2007. Did you check the macro security options?
Maybe it's blocking the macro.

No problem! Good to see it's working now.

Btw, it's Jaap instead of Japa. I made a stupid typo in my previous message, so i could smack my own forehead too!
