Evernote improves note emailing functionality with new tag support

Once again Evernote has added some additional, and useful functionality to their cloud-based note service. This time the extra feature comes into play with the existing ability to email your notes. And for those unfamiliar, each Evernote user has a secret email address that allows you to email a note into the service. You can find your secret Evernote email address under the Account Info section in the desktop versions of Evernote. Additionally that address is under Settings in Evernote Web. It should look something like this [username].12345@m.evernote.com.

Now with that out of the way, lets get back to the new tagging functionality. The emailing a note feature now has support for tags and the ability to place that email note into a specific notebook. Of course, there are some limits at this time, notably that you cannot create new notebooks. But that aside, you can email your note and have it tagged and added to the appropriate notebook by using nothing more than the subject line in your email.

To properly tag and route your notes, just use the # and @ symbols. The # symbol will allow you to tag your notes and the @ symbol is used for the notebook.

Using the subjeft from the Evernote blog post;

Subject: Trip to Florida @travel #expense report

This would place a note called “Trip to Florida” in your travel notebook and have it tagged with the keyword of “expense.

Of course the hard part here is remembering the names of your existing notebooks and tags. After all I use Evernote so I dont have to remember.
