Create a Task From an E-mail
My mentor
used to say, "I don't want to hear another good idea...unless you are
willing to do it with me!" Here is a quick way to make a Task from an
E-mail message.
Try It: Create a Task from an E-mail
Go to the
Inbox.
Select a
sample message.
Drag the message to the bottom of the
Navigation pane. Drop the message on the Task button,
the one with the clipboard and the red check mark.

What Do You See? A new Task will open, populated
with the information from the E-mail. If the E-mail has an attachment,
you need to drag and drop the attachment separately.
