Hi, I’m Aaron,

00:00:01.917 --> 00:00:03.838
one of the support humans at Omni,

00:00:03.838 --> 00:00:05.324
and I’m going to show you a way to make

00:00:05.324 --> 00:00:07.324
OmniFocus capture more flexible,

00:00:07.324 --> 00:00:09.324
with Mail Drop.

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:12.369
Mail Drop is a feature of
Omni Sync Server

00:00:12.369 --> 00:00:13.794
that lets you email actions

00:00:13.794 --> 00:00:16.044
directly to your OmniFocus inbox.

00:00:16.466 --> 00:00:18.136
First, let’s set up the email

00:00:18.136 --> 00:00:19.934
that you’ll send actions to.

00:00:19.934 --> 00:00:21.293
After you’ve signed up,

00:00:21.293 --> 00:00:23.634
log in to your Omni Sync Server account,

00:00:23.634 --> 00:00:25.980
and in the “Mail Drop to Inbox” section,

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:27.980
click “Create Address”.

00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:29.788
This sets up a randomly-generated

00:00:29.788 --> 00:00:31.788
email address for your Mail Drop.

00:00:32.413 --> 00:00:33.741
You can create more than one,

00:00:33.741 --> 00:00:35.120
if you want to allow someone else

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:37.120
to send you Inbox actions for a while,

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.120
or delete them at any time.

00:00:40.808 --> 00:00:42.994
Now, just send an email from anywhere,

00:00:42.994 --> 00:00:45.978
including any app
that supports Mail sharing.

00:00:47.322 --> 00:00:49.259
When you send a message to Mail Drop,

00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:50.603
the subject line of the message

00:00:50.603 --> 00:00:52.603
becomes the name of your new Inbox item.

00:00:53.087 --> 00:00:55.087
The body of the message
turns into a Note,

00:00:55.087 --> 00:00:56.884
which can contain text,

00:00:56.884 --> 00:00:59.261
attachments, and simple HTML.

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.208
No more bouncing back and forth

00:01:03.208 --> 00:01:04.586
between iOS apps

00:01:04.586 --> 00:01:06.586
to copy and paste information.

00:01:06.883 --> 00:01:08.962 line:0%
Mail Drop works just as well

00:01:08.962 --> 00:01:10.962 line:0%
with emails from your Windows PC,

00:01:10.962 --> 00:01:13.226 line:0%
or any other device that can send email.

00:01:15.382 --> 00:01:16.526
Thanks for watching!
