If you rightclick on an email and select "Follow Up" you can enter a day (and time) by which the email needs to be followed up. But it doesn't appear then in the tasks view. Would it be better to: (i) perhaps change the UI to make it more obvious what this feature does (ii) extend the "follow up" feature so that the emails do appear in the tasks view (probably by writing a new evolution-data-server backend that talks to the email store) (iii) have a way of creating a new task from an email that refers back to the email? (the easy, hackish approach) [snip]
