I just need two (!)...
I just need two (!) Mail-Act-On-Rules to process all my E-Mail because I “live” in kGTD. I have a rule to archive my mail and I have a second rule to send the mail to kGTD (using the script “Mail 2 kGTD”) and archieve it.
When I take a look at my inbox, I go through my mails. Then the GTD-process starts. E-Mails to which I can reply immediatly will get an immediate response. Mails I what to keep for information are sent to the archieve. And mails I want to act on and need some time are sent to kGTD and archieved. The smart thing of Mail2kGTD is it creates a link to the archived email. So when it is time to act on the email I just need to click on the link in kGTD and the E-Mail springs up.
That’s it. So all my todos are in one list which the references to the original material and my inbox is empty and all my emails are archieved.
