  • I haven't tried it with hiveminder, but wouldn't the iPhones imap client do what you wanted there? You'd get your todo in the iPhone Hiveminder IMAP account inbox...

  • ... but I just can't find any information about a IMAP server in Hiveminder.

    • Apparently I misled myself based on things I read and things that the voices in my head told me. No such feature exists... yet? That's okay.

      See, overnight I started thinking that if an IMAP syncing feature existed, it would be perfect for offline use with an iPhone. Then I decided it would not. How would I update things like description, blockers, due date, and so on. Well, maybe I'd send a reply to an existing task "email" with commands in it. That wouldn't actually update it in my mailbox, though.

    http://hiveminder.com/help/reference/IMAP/Introduction.html/ [hiveminder.com]

    It's a "pro" feature, but even as a pro user I can't find much about it: like, say, what IMAP server to use!

    • Thud... how about "hiveminder.com" you fool? I had tried imap.hiveminder.com and friends, but the simple one slipped through unscathed...

      OK, the basics are in place, now to play a little.

      • Back for the last time...

        OK, the 20 minute tour is complete. It works really well if you're happy to only see your todo items (ie there doesn't appear to be any interface to those items that you've completed, have delayed/pushed forward, and so forth). You can simply drag and drop messages from the "inbox" to "Completed" when they're done, or "Hide for" to delay them for a certain period (there are stacks of Actions hidden inside subfolders). In essence most of the folders simply implement an action on the
