When you say about integration, guys at Remember the Milk takes it to the next level. For example you have an email that requires a follow up, or contains a task that you need to remember…. you can either star this message, or just label it with “To Do”. RTM can automatically create a task when you star a message, or label a message with a specific label. Neat..nah!
