Flag outgoing message for follow-up in Thunderbird

1

More and more I need to follow up on specific messages I have sent, but memory fades. Can anyone recommend a way to flag outgoing messages "for follow-up" in Thunderbird? (Not sure but I think MS Outlook supports this.)

I have a little hack, which involves a custom rule to tag incoming messages from myself to myself. Then I simply include myself in the recipient list on messages I want to follow up on. But perhaps there is a more elegant extension or technique out there?

Well yes, that's what I do, but it's an extra step. – None – 2011-04-14T21:36:19.030

Well, in the absence of any responses I will continue using tags and rules.

  1. Install "Lightning" extension (calendar, tasks).
  2. Select email you want to follow-up/track.
  3. Make a right mouse click.
  4. Select from pop-up menu "Convert To" -> (event|task)
