And if you want to quickly find an appointment, there’s a dedicated menu bar where you can sort events into daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. With this, you can find the next available open spot in your schedule, thus saving time. Furthermore, you can also change the app’s color scheme, fonts, add a secondary timezone.Īnother great feature that I like about Bus圜al is its availability panel. You can customize it to show just the information you need, including reminders, event details, or both. Its main USP is that it offers better customization options despite having a UI similar to Apple Calendar. I am so depressed at having to move to this second-rate system and rebuild my entire workflow.Bus圜al by SetApp is another great calendar app for Mac.

#CREATE TASK FROM MAIL IN BUSYCAL FOR MAC#

Microsoft sells Outlook for Mac without many of the basic features completed (local folders and HTML signatures being only two in a long, long list). I am, understandably, very frustrated and angry at this. I link to Omnifocus tasks arising from messages, using an AppleScript to do this.Īll this work in developing my GTD workflow over the past ten years is being wiped away by some ignorant (and factually incorrect) IT decision. I have around 50 projects and tags set up, as well around 80 rules that automatically tag and file incoming messages. They also do not even support HTML signatures. Outlook currently does not event support folders ‘on my Mac’, everything having to be stored on Microsoft’s servers.

#CREATE TASK FROM MAIL IN BUSYCAL ARCHIVE#

I have explained that Apple Mail is not 3rd party on the Mac, but is the ‘native’ email app for the platform - Microsoft Outlook is the 3rd party email app on the Mac! But (as in the tradition of IT gatekeepers) they refuse to bend to reason, claiming that Microsoft is “secure” and Apple is not! I have 20 years of email archive relating to networks and projects. IT services at my employer have said this is because they no longer support “3rd party email apps”. I found this out after not being able to collect email for two days on Apple Mail. My employer has, without notice, made Outlook the only email app we can use to access our email.

#CREATE TASK FROM MAIL IN BUSYCAL SOFTWARE#

I wish Microsoft would swallow it’s pride, and prosper by improving its Mac Software.Īlthough, it should be said that Microsoft’s Mac Software is still better than the Apple Software for their own Mac. I use a Mac, because it is so superior to a typical PC. I am hopeful that Microsoft will one day improve the Mac Software products up to or surpass the PC versions of Office. Instead, I use MS Word, in the NOTEBOOK LAYOUT VIEW, as a substitute. I miss OneNote, which I used to use when I was a PC guy. Typically, I’ll probably delete about 10% of the EMAILS and file the rest. At the moment I have 149 emails that have come in since Monday that have not been filed yet. My weekly “Look-a-Head” is done over the weekend, I’ll probably add 10 TASKS and eliminate 5. I use TASKS in Outlook for my GTD system along with MYDay, a combination Calendar/Task App that in unique to Outlook 2011.įor me, this works better than the Apple Software and OmniFocus.

I was using all the Mac Software with OmniFocus, but switched back to Outlook 2011 just this month. Apparently, it integrates better with Office 365.

#CREATE TASK FROM MAIL IN BUSYCAL UPDATE#

Microsoft in February of 2013 came out with an update for Office 2011. And for that, iWork does that much better.

It might as well be a product from XYZ Computing with Office file compatibility. They don’t do the same UI, the same navigation, even the same functions as you get in Windows versions of Office. Microsoft implements Office on Mac totally different than on Windows and it isn’t just about the operating system. Think about it: When people buy a Microsoft product for the Mac, they want the same functionality that they get on Windows - they just have a Mac.

#CREATE TASK FROM MAIL IN BUSYCAL UPGRADE#

IWork came out with an upgrade - Pages, Numbers, Keynote - and I went there and totally blew off the Office upgrade on the Mac. Not there in features, not there in synching, not there for the iPhone, etc.Īt that point - unless I am forced to - I just gave up on Microsoft applications as well as their operating system.

When I first saw Outlook getting upgraded on the Mac, I was EXTREMELY hopeful that Outlook would at least get to an Outlook 2003 Windows level.Īlas, not. I am using it right now at my consulting gig - following the Outlook setup offered by DavidCo. I have successfully implemented the GTD approach in Outlook - for Windows.
