An Applescript to Archive Apple Mail Emails into Evernote

Looking for ways to get Apple Mail messages into Evernote?

Here are a few options for you…

***

Email Them In

One fast way to get items into Evernote is simply to email them. Brett Kelly’s eBook, “Evernote Essentials” provides a solid guide to how this works (See the chapter called “Evernote, Email and You”) along with some other great email-related tips.1

Use AppleScript

If you’re moving a lot of emails at once (or just want more control while you move them), you can set up an Mail/Evernote AppleScript which allows you to archive items directly between the apps with a keystroke. Version 2.0 of the Apple Mail to Evernote AppleScript is now available: It includes support for HTML messages and also more configurable settings to customize it to your workflow.

Drag-and-Drop

You can drag-and drop a message into Evernote if you’re okay with it being an .eml attachment to your note and not the actual message text.

  1. Note: This requires your information to pass through email servers which, depending on what it is, you might not want to do. [↩]

Gina Trapani’s new blog is a “must read” for people who use technology to improve their lives.

Former Lifehacker guru, author, and former Brooklynite Gina Trapani is back in action with her new blog, Smarterware.

The quote she uses in the footer of her new site tells me that this is probably a less-corporate, more heartfelt venture :

“Be true to your work and your work will be true to you.” —Charles Pratt

Best of luck to you, Gina!

Grab them while they’re cheap!

I bought an Eye-Fi Explore Card last week and have been impressed with how well it works — not only with Evernote, but with other online phone services and with iPhoto’s new geotagging features. A solid buy and one I would recommend to almost anyone with a digital camera and a wireless network!
