Retrieving Task List via e-mail not working

Hi all,

Am trying to perform a simple query to get a task list in a single folder via e-mail, but it's just not working for me.

For example, if I send a simple "? *Ps-Actions", I get "0 tasks matched your query" in response ("Ps-Actions" is the name of one of my folders). I've tried this multiple times, including throwing the query into the body of the e-mail.

On the other hand, sending a new task in via email works fine.

Thanks for any help!

The problem may be that your folder has a - symbol in it, which is a special symbol that looks for locations. So, your query is actually asking for tasks in the Ps folder and in the Actions location.

You'll need to remove the - from your folder name to be able to get that query to work via email.

Dang, that was the issue. Any way to escape it? I tried quoting the name of the folder and using a \ escape but those didn't work.

Thx for the response.

At this time there is no way to escape the -. We are working on this.
