About Tasks

We have all wondered exactly when our days of youthful languor turned into a life lived by a to-do list stuck on our fridge. While we all inevitably have to end such musings with a sigh, check off "Get more eggs" then go on to "pick up the laundry", what we can do however, is to make that list more convenient and more helpful.

If you are ready for something a little more 21st century than that writing pad on your fridge, eM Client is here for you! eM Client's task management tool is the central storage of all your tasks, it can remind you of your duties with automatic alerts, and keep track of the progress of your various activities.

Getting started

A default task folder is prepared for you when you create your account. You can access it by clicking the Tasks bookmark in the left-most vertical panel of the eM Client's interface.

A new sub-panel will open, containing the hierarchical tree of your task folders:

In this panel you can customize and manage your task folders. You can create new task folders, rename or delete existing ones. All this is accomplished via right-clicking and selecting the desired option from the context menu.

If you click on any of your task folders in this panel, the central panel will switch to a task list view of the chosen task folder. In this view you can see all the tasks from the given task folder and you can also create new tasks and edit/delete existing ones here.
