Transfer information to Evernote

[gypsyjet@gmail.com 8]

Using the basic product, what is the easiest method for transfering information from a computer into Evernote.

  For example, I use to forward a reservation by email from any computer directly into Evernote

(You can not use email to do this any longer)

You wrote that you can't forward emails to Evernote; that's true that the feature is no longer available with Evernote Basic; it is, however, available with Evernote Plus ($29.99/year) and Evernote Premium ($59.99/year).  So, upgrading is one option.

Does the basic/free version still offer Import Folders?  If so, you could set up a system where you print your emails you want to send to Evernote to PDF, with the PDFs going to an Import Folder.  (Evernote automatically imports any file from an Import Folder, and you can set the notebook you wish to have the files imported into.)

Always state what version you are talking about: She spent the whole day in bedx.c, Windows, Android, ....

Windows: you can drag & drop a file onto a note, or you can use the attach process (paper clip icon).

Furthermore, go to menu/tools/import folders where you can designate a folder on your hard disk from where EN can automatically import when you put a file into that folder.

Thanks for your input.  I dont use this enough to go beyond the basic, but I did email reservations into the system.  Copy pasting them from the original email would probably work too.

You could also print the emails to a PDF and save the PDF to an import folder per DutchPete above.  FWIW.

In windows, when I went to menu, tools (I did not see import folders next)

Also, when I tried using email to Evernote, I found it is still working.  So maybe they will leave it in the basic.

Import Folders is under Tools in Windows.

 

I think you get 5 emails with basic and then the email option goes away.

I looked under Tools in Windows, no Import Folders but an option "add to Evernote"

This is what my Tools drop down looks like in Windows desktop version.

If you are trying to use Evernote primarily for travel information, you might want to consider the free web site & app TripIT.

It allows you to send emails to the service, and the service parches the data in the email into logical travel-related fields, which are show in a great format both online and in the app.

 

I have used TripIT for years, and love it.  I also make great use of Evernote, but prefer TripIT for tracking my travel.

Since you appear to have a Gmail address,  you can also use Clipper and Clearly in most browsers to copy Gmails into Evernote,  and Chrome in particular has a very nice clipper option to save Gmails.  Other browsers give less 'artistic' results,  but they'll still get the content if that's mainly what you need.  You can also use IF(TTT) to put emails into Evernote automatically - I'm not sure whether that's done as email or through Evernote's API.  I think you get 'till the end of this month to continue with email,  after which it's a Plus- or Premium- only deal.

Gypsyjet, you have to look in the EVERNOTE WINDOWS DESKTOP PROGRAM, the one you download here:
 

https://evernote.com/download/

 

(You're looking at the Tools menu in your browser; that's NOT the same thing.) 

 

In the desktop Evernote program, you will indeed see a Tools menu, with "Import Folders" as a choice on it.

Ok, I realized it did not come up because I was in a FireFox browser rather then IP.  Thanks for the picture Csihilling, and thanks to everyone for their imput.

[CalS 5,280]

You are welcome.  Glad it cleared it up for you.

I found EVERNOTE WINDOWS DESKTOP PROGRAM, it looks like what comes up in either IP or Firefox.  I also found the section refered to "import folders".  I was never in the Desktop Program till now.  I will set up the location to receive files now.  Thanks again to all for your patience.

I also found clipper and installed it on my browser.

I setup a folder called "Evernote" and it immediately transfered informtion transfered into Evernote.  So I just have to put a email in there and my problem is solved.
