Tasks in Fastmail?
Fastmail does it all, almost.
Mail, Calendar, Contacts (Files & Notes!). Tasks seems to an obvious next step in the all-in-one Fastmail evolution. How might Tasks be incorporated into Fastmail? Part of Calendar? a separate mode? Task are commonly integrated into other Calendar apps. VTODO is part of the iCalendar standard. aCalendar+ is an example of a well-integrated Calendar & To-Do app on Android. DAVx5 syncs Contacts & Calendar with Fastmail, and does tasks too (VTODO) - but alas not with Fastmail. Evolution, Thunderbird.. many other examples of Calendar and Tasks integration. I'd love to be able to maintain and sync my To-do list with Fastmail.. it's my go-to for everything else. Does this seem feasible? Is Fastmail working on this? Thoughts? |

You can use Fastmail calendaring to store your VTODOs, although you need to make a new calendar to do it. (By default, Fastmail creates calendars as event-only.) Don't hold your breath waiting for a todo UI in 2021, but I daydream about having one, too.

I'd love this too. I'll try the suggestion but I use tasks a lot.

Tasks is something I miss too. Everything else is nicely synced across my devices, but not tasks.

@rjbs, How would I store VTODOs in a separate Fastmail calendar? Or are you talking about just saving them as events, and I can tell them apart from actual events just by them being in a separate calendar that I dedicate to tasks only? Last edited by bennypr0fane : 13 Nov 2020 at 03:21 AM. |

Basically, every calendar can hold one or more kind of thing. By default, Fastmail calendars hold events. You can use a todo program to make one that stores todos. If you do, you won't see it in the Fastmail web view, because … well, you couldn't do anything with it! |

Not that it matters, but count me in as one person who has zero interest in tasks in FM. In fact, I've never even looked at any task program anywhere!
