  1. I think that is a good workaround for outbound mail, but I have been unable to get either GMail or YahooMail to auto-forward and include the normal headers that are included with a manual forward. Both of these providers seem to "redirect" rather than auto-foward. Maybe I'm missing something, some setup in those email providers. Any suggestions? Or do you use another email provider?
  2. That works great for INBOUND email, but not for outbound email where you BCC your Evernote account. As the OP requested, we need an option for Evernote to put the email header info (To, From, cc, bcc, date sent) in the body of the Evernote Note. If have tried many other solutions, including IFTTT, Outlook rules, Outlook macros, and none worked. I'm referring to Outlook 2011 Mac. Outlook Win might work differently.
  3. I do the same thing, and have the same requirement, except my needs go far beyond orders. I often send emails to clients, vendors, colleagues, etc. that I want to store in Evernote. I have tried exhaustively to find a workaround for the Mac, where I use Outlook 2011. I have been unable to create/find any rule or macro that will do this in Outlook 2011. Having this feature would be very helpful. Evernote developers: Please give us this feature/option on all platforms.
  4. Yep, it would be great if you could display all Notes that contain a link to the selected Note.
  5. IMO, what we really need is REAL Due Dates, and you can add to that recurring Due Dates. Reminders in Evernote should, but do not, work just like in MS Outlook -- a reminder occurs sometime AHEAD of a Due Date. I think this is a pretty common approach with most calendar apps, and other apps that track Due Dates. Why Evernote chose to deviate from this well-known, common model is a mystery to me.
  6. @Gaz: You should add "to me". But then you did add "Just my opinion". Same thing I guess. As has been stated numerous times, nested folders (AKA sub-notebooks) are very logical and efficient to some of us, especially for some use cases. Organization of projects is just one clear example. I think this directly relates to a statement often made by many of us: We should each be able to organize our information in a way that best suits him/herself. Some would like and use sub-notebooks, others might not. I'd like to add that BOTH sub-notebooks and tags have their place in organizing info.
  7. Sorry, I see how that could be read either way. The answer: ( -- double-clicking on an image starts Presentation Mode for me, just like you. But, IMO, it should NOT. When I double-click on PDFs, or Word docs, or Excel docs attached to EN, they open in the default OS app. I'll update my above post to clarify.
  8. Double-clicking on an image should (but does NOT) behave just like double-clicking on all other EN attachments: Open the image (attachment) in the default app set on the users machine. EDIT: Clarify my statement. Double-clicking on images starts Presentation Mode for me also.
  9. While this is a very important feature to a lot of us, I don't think Evernote gives it much thought. They have stated repeatedly that they want everyone to to ALL of their work in Evernote, to stay in Evernote app all day long. So it appears that maintaining proper format when pasting into other apps is low priority for Evernote.
  10. What a brilliant idea! Now, why didn't someone think of that before? Oh, wait, they did. It's called SQL, and it's been around for decades. Not only that, but every other database system/app that I have used let's the user (optionally) specify the sort order. Come on, Evernote, get with the program.
  11. Really jefito, people are just venting their extreme frustration about an issue that should have been fixed long ago. Posts like yours don't add anything nor help anybody. If you don't like their frustrations, why don't you just ignore them??
  12. @Yahenda: Maybe I misunderstood how to use your automator tool. Are you saying that after you have created the Automator service, all one has to do is right-click on the image in Evernote, and select "Make thumbnail" ?
  13. @Yahenda: Thanks for sharing. However, your process seems very complicated, given that you can easily scale the image (up or down) using the Mac Preview app. Just right-click on the image in Evernote, and choose "Open" (or "Open with..." if Preview is not the default). Then goto Tools > Adjust Size. Choose "Percentage" in the dropdown, set to 200 (or whatever you like), click OK. Then SAVE and CLOSE. For details see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5936

  15. GM, I really appreciate your experience and expertise in very large PDF files. Your main complaint about the PCWorld review is that the author did not go into enough detail about very large, > 100 pages, PDFs. Frankly, I don't know how many users actually have, or want to store online, these very large PDFs. Personally, I don't have any although I have a large collection of PDFs, with my largest being a 50-page PDF for a A/V receiver. Unless you are maintaining a personal book library, I'm not sure I see the need. If you are maintaining a personal book library, then I suspect there are much better tools for doing so than either Google Drive or Evernote. I read a lot of tech reviews, and I rarely, if ever, find them to be both comprehensive and very detailed. That would be a user's manual. I look to reviews to provide me with insights into potentially useful features and serious drawbacks/limitations. If the review has captured my interest, then I would normally get more detailed info by going to the product web site, reviewing the user's manual, and doing more Google searches on it. No review is perfect, but I thought the PCWorld review of Google Drive was better than average. And BTW, none of this means that I am promoting or recommending Google Drive.
  16. Thanks for posting the link. I ran across it today as well and was quite disappointed in the content. What a weak explanation of Google, especially with unsubstantiated claims about Google's search capabilities. Yes, it is pretty cool, but if the writer of the article is more familiar with the ins and outs of the service, it'd be nice to have that all explained for us. So much of the tech news these days is blather. I think they must have tight deadlines and little pay or something, because it usually doesn't even reach the level of "news" or even a decent "how to." As for Keep, and the link in the article, I can't say I am impressed. . . . GM, I'm wondering if we read the same article. It is a fairly long article (by blog standards) and IMO provides a lot of details. It certainly provides as much detail as most Evernote blogs (both by Evernote and other authors). He provides specific details about how to use advanced features of Google Search within Google Drive/Docs Provided a link to the full set of options for Google Search Provided details and links on Google Research (competitor to EN Context) I had no idea about the extent and options for Google Research For example, it gives you control over the sources, including scholarly articles, with EN Context does not. Finally he points out where other apps like Evernote and OneNote might be a better fit It is clearly no users guide, but then it doesn't claim to be. But it does cover the entire scope of Google Drive/Docs/etc with enough detail to give you some appreciation for the tool, and to decide whether or not you might want to further investigate.
  17. How (and why) to use Google Drive as a powerful note-taking tool -- PC World Review The above link is to an extensive article that revealed a number of features, or how-to's, of Google Drive that I was not aware of. Of course, it makes good use of Google Docs. But it does show you how to do a lot of note-taking tasks, as well as point out some areas where Evernote and/or OneNote are better. I continue to think that Google (or maybe Yahoo) is the 500 LB sleeping guerrilla who, at any point, might wake up and try to grab the PIM and BIM market. Maybe Google isn't really asleep, since Google Docs/Drive really provide the foundation they would need. Yahoo continues to try to find their way to regain the dominance they once enjoyed.
  18. Sure… But putting the search results across multiple notebooks into their own "virtual notebook" has no bearing on what most people are trying to achieve when they sort notes in a notebook by any particular sort order. It seems that the discussion has evolved into two requests: Specifying a sort order for each Notebook Specifying a sort order across all Notebooks, including Saved Searches.I was addressing #2. The point is that, for many users, it is very useful to specify a sort order along with the Search. This is pretty standard.
  19. Most database queries that I have used include the option of providing a sort order. This is very powerful. A database query is the same thing as a EN Saved Search, except the EN Saved Search is much more limiting. Storing the sort order with the Saved Search would be, IMO, VERY useful to many users.
  20. There could be a default sort for searches across Notebooks. To me, Saved Searches are much like the Outlook Smart Folders, so it would be great to have a custom, multi-level sort stored with the Saved Search.
  21. @Jackolicious: This is STILL an issue in EN Mac 6.0.3: Clicking on a Tag in the Left Panel does create Tag filter for that Tag, BUT, the Tag is NOT highlighted in the Left PanelCMD-click on another Tag also does NOT highlight the tagThere is NO indication that the Notes have been filtered. At the top of the Note list, it says "All Notes", and there is NOT a Note count of the resulting Notes like there is when you do a Search in the Search box.
