Make alias to email to RTM

says:
I love the RTM email address that puts items into your list. The trouble is, it's a hard one to remember. I made an email alias with my isp that forwards all email sent to todo@mydomain.com to my RTM address. It saves a lot of time and grief.

Another take on this is to set up a filter in your email that will forward an email to RTM if some distinct keyword is in the email. I cannot remember my rtm email, nor can my wife, but if I send myself an email with the trigger in it, it gets bounced right over to RTM and is there waiting for me. Much handier than giving people another email address to remember.

My take was to add a contact - RTM - in my address book

Gmail allows you to add + to any of your accounts without having to set it up. ie if my email address is myemail@gmail.com and I send an email to myemail+rtm@gmail.com it'll still come to my inbox.

So that's what I did. I set up a rule that all email addressed to myemail+rtm@gmail.com gets forwarded to my RTM email address :)

I've tried several different times, but I've found that most of the emails don't reach RTM.

I don't know if the problem is through Gmail or RTM, but the auto-forwarded messages just don't work for me.

my solution is like mgjacqz's:

since most email apps, browsers, and iphones/smartphones auto-complete addresses, i simply have an address book entry for "milk."

when i need to email a task, i just type "milk," and the address is automatically entered.

Blew My Mind!!!

I did not know about that, but now i think that will be how some sites get an email address for me, easy filter.

Great Tip!

Also great tip on the part of the OP :)
