Why Use MailToDoList?

Many people use their email inboxes as their to-do lists.

But an inbox is a terrible to-do list app, because you can't move the email around!

The order in which emails come in is not likely to be the order in which you want to handle each email:

Copying emails to a to-do list is not a good solution to this problem.

If you do that, when you get to that item on your to-do list, you'll need to search your email archive to find the original email so that you can reply.

Snoozing emails is not a good solution, either.

Those snoozed emails will just come back in to your inbox at a time that might be just as inconvenient, and so you'll have to snooze them again.

The result, for many people, is inboxes with hundreds or thousands of emails.

When you have that many emails in your inbox, you need to try to keep track of priorities entirely in your head, and you end up feeling stressed.

MailToDoList solves these problems by combining the features of an email inbox with the features of a to-do list app.

With MailToDoList, when you have emails you want to postpone handling, you can move them down:

When you have several related emails (like emails from job applicants), you can group them inside a task and hide them until you're ready to deal with them:

And when you have to do something or remember something that doesn't come in as an email, you can add it as a task instead of having to email it to yourself:

When you can do all these things, your inbox can be your to-do list without stressing you out.
