Logseq is amazing for PDFs, but what if we treated emails the same way? Here’s a quick concept for a deep email integration that would allow for highlighting and linking directly within our journals.
The goal is to treat emails as first-class citizens, similar to how Logseq handles PDFs.
1. Integration & Capture
2. The "Email Viewer" (PDF-style)
Side-by-side View: Clicking an email opens it in a split panel.
Smart Highlights: Select text within an email to create a block reference in your notes.
Automatic Metadata: Auto-populate properties like From::, Subject::, and Date::.
3. Workflow Integration
Contextual Journaling: Link specific email paragraphs to your meeting notes or daily logs.
Task Management: Convert emails into TODO items while maintaining a bidirectional link to the original message.
Why it works:
It eliminates the friction of switching between apps and keeps all professional communication indexed within your local graph, preserving context and privacy.
