I am looking to store selected emails in DT - sort of an archive facility - but want to separate the mails into project folders. I don’t want to permanently keep the mails in my gmail mailbox due to space constraints.
The workflow is like this:
Once a mail has been replied to, I would like to then send it to DT and specify which database and folder it needs to go to… all as a one step process.
I know I can print the mail and then use the “save PDF in DT” option. The problem is that it then puts that mail into the global inbox and I have to go manually move it to the project folder.
Also, I would prefer that it is store as Kind = email, not kind = pdf.
I also have Hazel, but cannot find a way to get Hazel to help with this. Maybe my poor scripting skills!
If anyone has a way to do this, please let me know.
Only if DEVONthink’s Preferences > Import > Destination is set to Global Inbox. Setting it to Select Group shows the group selector so you can choose the destination.
Four non-scripted options…
With the Import preference set to Select Group, drag and drop to DEVONthink’s dock icon.
Drag and drop to the location in the database, if DEVONthink is visible.
Add groups to the Sorter and drag and drop to it there.
Open Tools > Show Groups & Tags and drag and drop there.
I realized that in my last post I forgot to say “thank-you”. I’m not sure how I missed these options when looking through the help section. I did not know you could add groups to the Sorter … very useful feature and this is the one I am finding most suitable.
