iGTD and Mail.app Together For E-mail to Tasks
Here’s one for you Mac folks:
Mac user and GTDer Julian Schrader turns email messages into tasks with a keystroke, using the iGTD software:
I use iGTD to store and organize my tasks — it is an amazing application and provided for free. I recommend it to any Mac user — I just hit F6 in Mail and it copies the active e-mail over into a new task created in iGTDs Inbox, a link back to the original e-mail included.Source: GTD With Email: Turn Mail.app Messages into Tasks with iGTD - Lifehacker
Okay, you know I’m not a Mac user, but Julian’s 9 Tips For Better E-Mail Productivity work for everyone. Good filters, organizations, knowing when to answer and when to wait. All good stuff. One thing though, why is the default e-mail client on OSX Mail.app … come on couldn’t it be just a tad more interesting? Yes, I know in UNIX mail is the name of the mail program … folks I’ve had an e-mail address 1988 (technically I had one when school started in 1987, but I don’t think I activated [email protected] until the spring) and I learned e-mail using mail and vi for Pete’s sake. Come on Apple, step up to the plate … iMovie, iTunes, iLife, iPhone …. Mail.app (is it technically just “Mail”). Not spiffy.

Hey, thanks for mentioning my post!
But what’s wrong with Apple’s naming for applications? I like that they clearly say what each app is about ;-)

Sure then why isn’t it iMail? So how do you explain Safari? Julian … you’re very welcome for the link, they are great tips.

Well, it’s true that there’s no consisting scheme for names. Some are iSomewhat, others don’t have this “cool” character in front of their names.
