How to automatically track delegated tasks in entourage via omnifocus

One problem that I face is that how do I keep track of what tasks I have delegated to others from my Entourage.

So, I wrote an applescript that will take your current message and copy it to OmniFocus inbox and also set the context to Waiting. At your leisure (or depending on your settings), you set the project of this task later (if you want to).

Here is what you need to do:

  1. download this file and save it at ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items
  2. create a contact in entourage with name as “waiting” and address as your own email address
  3. set up a rule in entourage for the account you created the “waiting” account such that any mails fires up the an applescript and set the applescript location to point to the script mentioned above.

Now, whenever you want to track a task that you have delegated to somebody else – you can just BCC it to yourself
