Asana email integration doesn t solve a big part of the philosophy in this thread. The problem is that (at least for me) around 80% of emails are actually part of implementing an existing task, NOT entry points for new tasks. The system described here (which I have always used and appreciated for those 20% of emails which should generate new tasks) simply is useless for our workflow of documenting EVERY email received or sent, which is relevant to a task, in that same task as a COMMENT. This means resorting to cliking forward (to generate a copiable text including the email header), then copying the email, then searching for and opening the task in asana manually, then pasting and posting the comment. It’s doable (it’s what we do routinely), but an integration button in outlook or Gmail just saying "Post in Asana task X), with an integrated search field, would be a wonder.
