I don’t know about Android and iPhone but on Symbian emailing notes, pictures, files to Evernote is much faster than using the WRT widget based Evernote client. I just use the default messaging app to email notes, files, pictures etc. to Evernote, but till now I had no way of managing those notes and files and it just made the proccess more time consuming.

All the notes and files I emailed were saved in default notebook and were not tagged – this causes clutter which so not what Evernote is ment for.

I think Evernote people realised it. Now with the latest improvement you can email note to specific notebook along with tags.

- Use @ for notebook : Use an @ symbol followed by the name of your destination notebook.

- Use # for tags : Use an # symbol followed by the tag or tags you wish to assign. You can have multiple tags, just make sure each one starts with an #.

Example – Subject: trip to florida @travel #expense report – would create a notebook titled trip to florida in my travel notebook tagged expense report.

As of now this works only for existing notebooks and tags only i.e. you cannot create new notebooks and tags with this feature (which is a bummer). In the subject line, always put the note title first, then add any nootbook and tags. This feature won’t work for notebook which has ‘@’ or ‘#’ in the title and tags which has ‘#’ in the title.

You can find your Evernote email address in account info and it’ll look something like this – [username].12345@m.evernote.com

Happy Note-taking! :)
