![]() (* Extract message ID from the message:// URI. He also provided the next step with RCDefault App. I did not create this, I found it in this gist by Scott Reeves. This is an applescript to handle opening email URLs in Postbox. Create a script to open message:// URLs in Postbox This all happens in the background and you will never need to worry about it again. The helper will automatically convert the x-dispatch:// links into message:// links intended to open messages in Apple Mail. Install the Dispatch helperĭownload and install the Dispatch URL helper. Now we need a way to make these links work on the desktop too. You can configure Dispatch to always include a link back to the message when you’re processing emails and sending them to Todoist. Goal 1 – Get x-dispatch:// URLs to open the right message on desktop And the Dispatch URL helper was my missing piece to this puzzle. And luckily this aligned with having a time slot where I could sit down and solve this once and for all. I did it for almost a full year without system breakdown.īut doing Tiagos course reminded me of this non-ideal situation. I had settled for flagging messages that had corresponding todo’s in Todoist and relied on email subject lines to find the right message. Now Postbox’s x-postbox-message:// url-scheme doesn’t work on iOS, and I have no way of creating Postbox message URLs if I process emails on the iPad. And Postbox has enough features over the built-in Apple Mail that I’d like to keep using it. But it’s very important for those it matters to. I know, it’s not a trivial feature to add and not a very common request, so I don’t blame the developers for dodging this one. I had tried several other mail applications that works with both iOS and macOS but the newcomers on the block – Newton, Airmail, Spark and the like – all share the same flaw. I’ll describe the setup and give you the code for the scripts in this post. Now everything is linked together so that email message links in Todoist will open in your email client, no matter which platform you are on. open the Todoist Quick Add box and paste the link from clipboard. ![]()
