Hello Guillaume,

I'm afraid this is not possible :(

The reason why the confirmation mail doesn't appear in any task is because in order to send tasks via e-mail, you have to add and verify the address you want to send tasks from so you'd have to add and verify Google's own e-mail address.

Of course that's not possible and therefore you won't be able to verify your Gmail filter address.

As a workaround, if you have a stand-alone e-mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird etc.), you could use it to create a forwarding rule. You could then create a separate e-mail address which you could use as a forwarding address for Gmail. From there, your e-mail client could forward these mails directly to Todoist.

For example:
- you create a new account: example@example.com,
- create a rule in Gmal to forward specific mails to this address,
- then you add example@example.com on your Todoist's address list (in the window that appears once you click the mail icon to get the address) and confirm that it's your address,
- go to your e-mail client and set a rule to forward everything that's being sent to example@example.com to your Todoist project address (project.XXXX@todoist.net).

The only downside is, that you'll see "FW: " at the beginning of each task name.


Best regards,
David
