What I find extremely important is the ability to quickly create a link in a new task to the original GMail email, and not foreward emails to the provider. I have only found Todoist to do this satisfactory. Google Tasks (like all Google Apps) are not feature rich enough, it is a basic task manager.

Hate to brag but Nozbe had a GMail gadget just when the LABS gadgets launched. (November 5, 2008 to be precise).

It’s similar to the iNozbe interface and the Mac Dashboard Gadget we have:

Nozbe in Google Mail – Add your iNozbe gadget to your Gmail account!

Just to let you know RTM and Nozbe had this way before Toodledo :-)

But my gosh what an *ugly* application. I just signed up and instantly closed the browser. Terrible.

@Michael,

Thanks for your comments about the Gmail tasks. While they are indeed improving they still haven’t matured quite enough for me to replace Toodledo. There is still quite a bit of functionality I rely on that isn’t yet present.

I might be missing something here, but the Tasks feature in Google provides the all important function of being able to create Tasks from received emails (and automatically links back to that email conversation, even as it grows); plus it allows the creation of separate lists such as To Do’s (Next Actions), Projects, Someday/Maybe (or whatever GTD or other terminology you use for your lists). Whilst the Tasks feature in Google is most definitely simple–in the extreme–the more I use it, the more I realise that simplicity (and email integration) is its strength. It too (not surprisingly) has an iGoogle gadget. For me, I don’t see the need to use a separate To Do/Tasks app when it’s now built in (though still in ‘Labs’ stage) to Gmail. The improvements in the Contacts functions in Gmail have now reached a point where I have decided I no longer need to use Highrise as my CRM (as much as I love its UI), because Gmail does all that it does (plus has Calendar and a host of other apps available). If you’re a Firefox user, install the Xoopit add-on and it turns Gmail into a quasi Document Management System as well. Just amazing.

[...] The gadget can’t, unfortunately, directly create new tasks out of the emails you’re running through—that remains a unique feature of Google’s own Gmail Labs task manager. But if you’re used to Toodledo’s creation system, or Google’s tasks tool is a bit too simplistic for your needs, this new gadget should fit right into your work flow. Free to use, requires a free Toodledo account to use in the sidebar. Hit the link below for installation instructions. Toodledo :: Google Gadgets [via Web Worker Daily] [...]
