How do self-email to-dos work?

Cora includes a built-in to-do system with a unique feature: emails you send to yourself automatically become to-dos.


How it works

When Cora detects an email where you're both the sender and recipient, it automatically:

  1. Creates a new to-do in your Cora to-do list

  2. Uses the email subject as the to-do title

  3. Includes the email body as the description

  4. Links the to-do to the original email

Excluded: Google Calendar invitations (these are often self-emails but not actual tasks)


Managing your to-dos

Viewing to-dos:

  • Access your to-do list from the sidebar in the Cora web interface

  • To-dos are ordered by priority and due date

  • Completed tasks remain visible temporarily before being archived

Creating to-dos manually:

  • Click "Add to-do" in the interface

  • Create to-dos from any email using the action menu

  • Set priority levels (low, medium, high)

  • Add due dates and descriptions

Available actions:

  • Complete: Mark tasks as done

  • Edit: Update title, description, priority, or due date

  • Delete: Remove tasks individually or in bulk

  • Bulk Select: Select multiple to-dos for batch operations
