Email Feature I have come to love is missing

Hello all,

I have used IPad's starting from day one of their introduction. In fact I still have one of the original AT&T unlimited IPad subscriptions. I have used MacBooks and have a number of iPods. In all this time I have never used an iPhone. I did not like the level of restrictions associated with the product. In any case when the 6 Plus was introduced my thoughts were "Hmmmmm". I now have a 6 plus and love it. Ramble over.

My question is this: "How can I turn email messages into calendar events". On my other phones [android, windows, blackberry] I simply click on the email and I can turn it into a calendar event so that I can follow up on the item. I am aware that in ios if someone includes a date or time in an email I could then click it and turn those into calendar events, but I want to be able to do it to all emails.

Let's say I have an email with important information in it, but I cannot address it for a couple of days. I want to be able to click it, turn it into an event with the email contents included, then set the date so that time slot is filled.

Thoughts?

 

Thank you for the reply. That process does sound like it will work. It is sad that what could take one click will be a multi-step, multi-app process.

Just had a thought, is there a way to make a "reminders" out of emails?

 

Thank you BlueJ85,

That app looks really nice. Unfortunately, I use my phone a lot for work which is based on Microsoft exchange. If they start to support exchange I will give it a shot.

I am really surprised that such a simple feature as what I described is not available. I am even more surprised that not many people in the world of Apple seem to be requesting it. The number of professionals with an iPhone is pretty large.

 

Thanks for the reply Black Manioc

When I hit the flag it just adds a dot to the email. It does not give an option to date it.

I am an email fanatic and never have more than 3 items or so in my inbox. I try to act on everything as they come in. Any act that would result in the email remaining in the inbox would drive me crazy. Your idea was good though.

 

Thanks for the post. I looked and could not find an app called mailhub.

Good idea. I will send them an email.

That is a big omission if Apple wants enterprise adoption.
