Email service that allows to attach notes to email

[kinetic]

So do you know any such service ?

I want to be able to attach a note to an email, maybe reminding myself to act on it. Simple flagging is not enough, I want to be able to write some notes and attach it to the email. And also if I can get a deadline for the action, so that I will be reminded of it.

gmail + manymoon seems to allow this. But manymoon adds big buttons to every email which makes it too irritating.

Does fastmail have such a thing ?

See following link for gmail+manymoon

Works in google apps too.

Luxsci is able to add notes to mails in the webmail.

Thanks for that info. I will check it out.

I found that gmail can create a task based on an email. You can also set a due date. Thats great. Only thing missing is: if I create a task based on an email, there is no indication in the email itself that a task is associated with it. (Same problem with manymoon I found)

Note quite. Does not allow me to attach note/task to an email. At least I did not find anything like that in fastmail.

Perhaps you should ask in the Fastmail forums (or do a search) I don't have an account currently but think that this is possible, using the 'notepad dropdown' from the compose screen.

Yes, David is right. When you're in the Compose screen you just click on the "More text actions" drop-down that's just to the right of the Spell Check button above the compose area. When you make the note you would need to put a check mark for "Quick Note" at the bottom of the note.

As mentioned above, Luxci has notes and they become part of the email message.

No, it's about attaching a note to an existing (received) email.

Whoops, sorry.

I wonder if JavaScript could do something like that in FM?

...

In addition to its ability to attach a note to a message, LuxSci introduced a new feature a few months ago:

" ... called “Deferred Email Messages”. With deferred messages, you can select message(s), in any email folder, have them removed from that folder and automatically returned to the folder at a later date and time."

These two features (notes and deferred messages with follow-up date) seem to be what kinetic is asking for.

Yes, thats what I am looking for. Not attaching a note while composing.
