Easy Integration with Outlook

Hi All, So maybe this isn't a helpful hint for many people, but it was nice for my purposes. Goal = Integrate Toodledo w/ Outlook 2007. Problem = Nothing exists which does this, and which maps my fields properly. (Chromadrake's software isn't working for me. It won't map my subtasks.) Problem #2 = I'm techno-incompetent. Stupid Solution = 1) In Outlook 2007, in the upper right hand corner, select "New" --> "New Folder." 2) In the pop-up, create a name for the folder (I used "Toodledo") and set it to "Task Items" in the dropdown, and select "Tasks" as the location for the new folder. 3) Right-click on the new "Toodledo" folder, and select "Properties." 4) In the pop-up, click the "Home Page" tab, and enter the following: http://www.toodledo.com/slim 5) Select "Show home page by default for this folder" 6) Hit "OK." 7) Enjoy the minimalistic Toodledo site within your Outlook tasks folder. Now, I know this is not true integration with Outlook, but it's better than nothing. And, if your Outlook has a blue color scheme, it even fits with the general look. If someone can recommend a better approach, please do! PS - If you prefer a certain view on load-up, try the following instead: http://www.toodledo.com/slim/#_hotlist http://www.toodledo.com/slim/#_astar http://www.toodledo.com/slim/#_folders etc....

I say bravo. An elegant solution for many situations. It was quick and easy and so far perfect for the application I had. |

Awesome trick! I just put http//www.toodledo.com instead and I get the same as site right in Outlook. (Better for me as it hides deferred tasks ($Hold, $Waiting, etc)... and future start dates, etc). Very nice, thanks much. |

Yes it's virtually the same... select folders... which is in the middle of the screen... |

Thank you so much for posting this tip. This solved my problem of continuing to use Outlook as a Task manager with my HP Touchpad.. What a great way to achieve the desired result.. |

Nice and easy tip. As said, not a true integration but as close as you can get if you have outlook and toodledo as your task managing tools. |

Hmmm ... I seem to be missing something about this trick. Why not just open Toodledo in a browser? |

This is very convenient for someone who uses Outlook for all other PIM activities. While it is the same as opening in a browser, this has more of a "unified" feeling for Outlook users. I use Outlook at work all day, so it is always open. This makes it convenient for to add tasks all day long as emails pop-up. Very simple trick, but very effective and useful. Thanks, dan.julian! |

Anybody tried this solution? http://www.chromadrake.com/ChromaticDragon/software/ToodledoSyncInfo.aspx There is no more support from the developers, but it works. |
