(Archived) Linking Thunderbird to Evernote

[stevewilson 0]

In response to a previous question about linking Firefox to Evernote, Jeff (jeffito) steered me to Mozilla and its add-ons. I went looking there to see if there's an equivalent add-on for Thunderbird (Mozilla's e-mail client) so as to patch e-mail into Evernote, but found nothing. Anyone know of such a possibility.

Do you mean a clipper for Thunderbird?

If so, in Thunderbird go to Tools > Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons > and enter evernote in the search field and click the magnifying glass icon.

that'll find the Evernote add-on for Thunderbird.

Unfortunately the current Thunderbird add on only clips to the web. There's no option to clip to the EN desktop. EN hasn't said if this is by design or a bug.

It's by design.

(I raised a ticket on it and that was the response I got. This has changed one of my workflows, because I often go through my email off-line and want to put some of them into Evernote. Now I can only send emails to Evernote when I have an internet connection.)

Not really what I wanted to hear, but thanks for the intel.

Good to see you back!

Thanks to all for this information. Sounds like we would have to re-send e-mails to ourselves after downloading and reading, then go to online e-mail to clip them. Looks like we're stuck with cut and paste.

Not sure I follow you. If you have an internet connection all you need to do is clip the emails to the EN servers and when you have finished all of your clipping synch to your desktop EN software.

(It's when you don't have an internet connection that the workflow is broken.)

Yes, if one is content to read and decide on all e-mail online (as we are told in previous posts). The sort of mail I get is text heavy -- clips of articles from all over from a large group of people which I download for eventual reading, filtering and possible clipping.
