Create a reminder from a selected email message. The script supports
- up to 6 email accounts (in Mail.app) and
- up to 6 reminder lists (in Reminder.app).
- It avoids duplicate reminder entries.
- It has a switch to set 'auto-archiving' on/off
Compared to his original I did the following modifications:
- support for six email accounts (e.g. 2x work, 4x personal accounts or whatever) instead of 2
- an optional modification dialog for a custom title instead of only the messages subject
- identification of an existing reminder based on the unique message id instead of the subject
- allowing to reschedule / set a new date for mails with existing reminder
- extended the list of possible reminder dates
- configure the default reminder time
- switch on/off auto-archiving
- simplying the configuration of the script
For installation follow Michaels page while using the script here. Basically you
- create in Automator a service with no input and only for Mail.app
- add a step that executes AppleScript (and replace the given code by this one)
- save it in ~/Library/Service with some useful name like "Create Reminder from Email"
- and give it a Keyboard shortcut under System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
