Is it possible to create a task directly from an Email?

Please complete the details below then remove this line:


Domino/Notes Version: 12 FP5
Add-on Product (if appropriate, e.g. Verse / Traveler / Nomad / Domino REST API):
Its Version:
Operating System:
Client (Notes, Nomad Web, Nomad Mobile, Android/iOS, browser version):


Problem/Query:
Is it possible to create a task directly from an Email? I would like to have the contents of a selected Email added automatically into a task. A user claims that this functionality exists in Outlook.

Open the concerned mail

Click the twisty on the extreme right on top bar

Clck copy into new-to do or calendar entry

This opens a new task with the mail subject as task subject and the body copied into task description

Optionally, before this action while the mail is open, go to edit-copy as link and then while in task paste that link into the task body and add adescription.

This link will always open the actual source mail for you. For other allottees of the task it will depend upon your access delegation

The subject of the mail as well as the body is anyway part of the task description

Hope this helps.
