A comment on the question "Using an existing archive folder" in Postbox, Inc.:

Same here. I need to archive locally because a) employer imap storage is pathetic and b) topics are not saved on my imap server and thus not synced across different machines, so why bother saving to the server? – p bilton, on May 05, 2009 03:39

Read the latest help pages. You can now tag @noreminder to turn off default reminders for that item.

+1
by the way, jott+remember the milk can do this, using the syntax "tag as XXXX"

I should add that the main reason I want to separate remember from remind is so I can create calendar items that will show up in my digest, but that I won't get a reminder about. For most calendar events like office meetings a once-in-the-morning reminder is enough - I don't need a 20-minutes-before reminder.

Yes, this is actually a setting in Jott. All you have to do is sign in to Jott, go to Jott links, and edit the Sandy link by unchecking "send sms response".

I have to say I liked it better when you could use "remind" when you wanted a reminder and "remember" when you didn't.

p bilton reported a problem in I want Sandy on November 08, 2007 14:15:

Is the full email text reminder not working for anyone else?

I just sent this issue to Sandy's helpers, but I'm also wondering if any other users are having this problem.

You know how you can forward an email to Sandy, prepending "reminder DATE TIME" in front of the subject, and Sandy will send you back the full message? (Incidentally, this is not in the help guide.) Well, lately this is not working - Sandy is treating these as lookups.

Ditto. Or a Twitter bot, or (as many have said) Jott integration. What we really need are three "ins" - work (email), home (email), and mobile (cell phone).

IMHO, I think getting an "in" from a regular old cell phone without mobile internet should be a higher priority than bookmarklets, desktop widgets, IM bots, etc. Those are niceties, but really, if you're on your lappy you can just send an email. Be wary of the web 2.0 proclivity to create 500 ways to get info in from your desktop - I think it could dilute the simplicity of Sandy as an interactive email-based service.
