Emailing into evernote: Set the todo checkmark

[mlu 25]

Is it possible to somehow raise the checkmark symbol (todo) when mailing into Evernote?

Not possible, as far as I know; Evernote doesn't modify note text when you email into your Evernote email address.

Here's the support page for Evernote email: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005347

Save emails into Evernote

To save emails into Evernote, open an email, forward it to your Evernote email address (enter your Evernote address in the recipient field), and click Send.Your email appears as a new note inside Evernote that uses the email subject line as the title.

Before you send an email into Evernote, you can add special characters at the end of your subject line to specify which notebook you'd like to save it to, which tags you'd like to use, and any reminders you'd like to add to the note:

• @Notebook: Notes will go into your default notebook unless you specify one using the at (@) symbol and notebook name, such as @travel. You do not need quotes if you have a space in the notebook title. For example, you would write @International Travel or @My Notebook.
• #Tag: Add tags using the pound or hashtag (#) symbol, such as #manchester #england
• !Reminder: Use the exclamation point (!) to set a reminder. To add an alarm to the reminder, add the word tomorrow, or a date with numeric year, month, day separated by slashes. For example: !, !tomorrow, !2013/06/24

Standard format:

Email Subject: [Title of note] ![optional date for reminder] @[notebook] #[tag]

Examples:

Send party planning ideas into your Events notebook, tag with anniversary, and set a Reminder:

• Email Subject: 5th-Year Celebration !2013/06/24 @events #anniversary

Send hotel reservations into the Travel Planning notebook and tag with japan:

• Email Subject: Hotel Reservation @travel planning #japan

Append an email to an existing note

To add some text to an existing note, put a " +" at the end of your subject line and we'll place the body of the email into the most recent note with that title.
