Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
Please give us a “Flag” or “Follow-up” option on our e-mails.
I never thought I’d say this, but take a page our of the Windows Outlook book and let me flag my emails to follow up on later. I can’t keep track of all of the e-mails that I receive in a day and often forget about many and in turn receive irate e-mails from people because I have a bad memory.
What about the “star” option, I use it to flag emails?
Yes, I also use it, but there are no flag reminders that pop up if you havent attended to the mail after a specified period if you follow me…
I mean they have SMS capabilities on Google Calendar, why not on gmail too?
I use custom labels to flag mails, works well…
Robin - still though, no alerts, if you get me?
Ok I get you mean, I’m sure there’s a hack somewhere.
There’s 1@hitmelater.com, forward you mail to that address and it will email you back a reminder. 1 being how many hours in future to remind you, so forward to 24@hitmelater.com and it remind you in 24 hours. Yes there’s a privacy issue there, but most of us trust Google to handle private and important mails anyway - this is just another service.
