Thanks.
So what I am seeing now is that probably the way via iCloud or - so far now untested - WebDav will be preferrable. Once the bulk is synchronized, the synchronization appears to be smooth. With regards to background refresh, I recall there’s not a lot that can be done; but as it is going to be on iCloud, I can remember to do it every now and then.
The way I understand it, I can switch from iCloud to WebDav at some point, as the message IDs are probably what everything works by.
Now, here’s a workflow that I am currently using, and that actually works pretty well:
- Mails come into Outlook, from different accounts.
- One account is a locally running IMAP server, into which I move mails via a hotkey.
- DTP fetches those mails via the process discussed here
- In Todoist, I may want to have a task that references a mail. As the mail is in DTP by now, I can use Hookmark to create a link to it.
- That Hook link works on the iPad, which is quite awesome. In other words, the Message IDs from DTP are working in DTTG, which allows for that workflow: In Todoist on the iPad (or the iPhone or the web app) I can click on those links inside a task comment, and it’ll open DTTG for me and jump right to that mail
Pfeww. So the final thing to do for me now is to import those big older databases.
Hopefully I’ll be able to work through them without constant crashes…
