Hi, I’m Aaron,
one of the support humans at Omni,
and I’m going to show you a way to make
OmniFocus capture more flexible,
with Mail Drop.
Mail Drop is a feature of Omni Sync Server
that lets you email actions
directly to your OmniFocus inbox.
First, let’s set up the email
that you’ll send actions to.
After you’ve signed up,
log in to your Omni Sync Server account,
and in the “Mail Drop to Inbox” section,
click “Create Address”.
This sets up a randomly-generated
email address for your Mail Drop.
You can create more than one,
if you want to allow someone else
to send you Inbox actions for a while,
or delete them at any time.
Now, just send an email from anywhere,
including any app that supports Mail sharing.
When you send a message to Mail Drop,
the subject line of the message
becomes the name of your new Inbox item.
The body of the message turns into a Note,
which can contain text,
attachments, and simple HTML.
No more bouncing back and forth
between iOS apps
to copy and paste information.
Mail Drop works just as well
with emails from your Windows PC,
or any other device that can send email.
Thanks for watching!
If you have any questions, just drop us a line.
We’re here to help.
