I'd like to see this also. I think it's workable, but I certainly won't commit to it for IMP 4.2.0.

Apple Mail 3.2 (Tiger) can do this too.

Indeed, the behavior would be different from what is already implemented in IMP.

I hate to compare to Outlook, but, a user can create a caldendar event from an email. I haven't checked if other app can.

It would definitely be easier/friendly,from a user's point of view, to popup a creating (task , event...) window that you could update on the fly and save rather than having to add the task in the background and the look it up later to update it.

no ?

after selecting "Create a new event from mail", I thought that IMP would kick off  (popup or not) kronolith/new.php with some prefilled fields like title,desc... Then it would be up to the user to set date, participant... and eventually save the new event.

It would not work like adding a task, where the task is added in the background and then need to lookup the task to add information like deadline...

I'm not that good in english. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?


Thanks,
Ronan.

When reading a message, we can copy/move the email to/as a task or a note.

I would be great if we could do the same with the calendar : Create a new event from an email, eg :
- subject  -> event's title
- body + header summary -> event's description
