After seeing the success of Remember The Milk, the Gmail team decided to support the to do list functionality on their own in Gmail. Gmail’s entry into to do lists, is a further notice that you should not encroach on Google’s turf and expect them not to kill you by launching a similar service of their own.

People use Gmail to get stuff done, so we’ve added a lightweight way to keep track of what you need to do, right from within Gmail.

Take entering a new task: just click in an empty part of your list and start typing. No buttons to click and it’s saved automatically. Hit Return and you’ve got a new task right there.

You can also easily convert emails into tasks: select one or more messages and go toMore Actions > Add to Tasks. (Or turn on keyboard shortcuts and use <shift> + t.)
