How do I create a task from an email?

[dvollc 33]

I often come across an email that is a task for me. I'd like to have that email become an Evernote task. 

Does anyone know the options to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Other than sending the Email to Evernote and then adding a task manually I don't think there's a better way. Sounds like a good idea though.

We've captured this idea as an improvement. Came up back in the Tasks beta. It comes down to prioritizing the feature. We're currently focused on improving performance and addressing top requests like recurring tasks. We should eventually get to this, but can't give you any timeline.

I expect, this is already known, but here for the sake of completeness: adding a ‚!‘ at the end of subject of the email adds a reminder to the note (reminder date and time can be added, too).

As a workaround…(sure, its not a Task but helps to get a reminder for those specific notes)

This would be really helpful.  It is a huge impediment for me and my move to paperless.  I was using MailButler, but paying for two tools to do what Outlook / To Do accomplish seems silly.

Yes,while not a task, you can add a reminder at the end of your subject line, !YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM @NOTEBOOK #TAGNAME ,

Thank you for providing.  I tried this and got all to work except for the reminder time (in red):   !2022/05/03 09:30 @NOTEBOOK #TAGNAME

The reminder that showed up was 08:00 am not 09:30.  Does anyone know what I did wrong?  Thanks for any help that you can give.

From the description it just allows for a date, not for a time:

The default 08:00h seems to be presetted - I have not found a setting to change it in general.

Thanks for replying.  I appreciate it!
