I’ve written previously about my love for Thunderbird and Getting Things Done and now it’s just got even better!
I save a copy of every email that goes out to one of my clients:
b) To cover my back
c) For reference so I know what I’ve been talking to them about

Until now, I’ve been going into my main “Sent Items” folder and then dragging the email into the appropriate “Sent” folder under the client’s main folder, but I won’t have to do that any more!

Now I don’t have to bother going into my “Sent Items” folder, I can automatically copy the message into the appropriate client folder – yeay!
Boy I wish I had found this sooner!
