Using MilkSync with RTM
rsepmg says:
Wondering how people use MilkSync. What is your workflow? Is it better to sync 2 way vs. 1 way?
I live in Outlook for email, use ClearContext to get to an empty inbox, have always found outlook task management limited. I would like to make tasks from email, use RTM with the flexibility of Smart Lists. Is it better to 1) just send the task to RTM by email and work in RTM for task management 2) send task to RTM and sync from RTM to Outlook to capture smart lists as categories in Outlook 3) make a task in Outlook and sync to RTM and use RTM for task management.
Learned a lot about RTM workflow from Tips and Tricks, but didn't see much about this; thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I tried MilkSync - it worked fine - no problems at all but I tweaked my workflow:
Outlook is for EMail & Calendar
RTM is for tasks
If I need to create a task based upon an email:
I'll forward the e-mail to my RTM address ONLY if I need the body of the email as a note for reference (although I never delete "important" mails from outlook)
or
I'll simply type the new task directly into RTM
I find it's mostly the latter that works for me.

Thanks, Ross, I have been doing things like that as well. Sounds like you then don't sync RTM with Outlook anymore. That is, you keep tasks in RTM, so don't care whether the task is also in the Outlook tasks folder.
