Great,
This will work exactly as I wanted for mail. Sounds like I can just
create the Message Item, stamp it the type request by the user via IMAP
(either Task or Calendar), then pass it along to the datet-ime parser.
If there is additional information the date-time tool will handle any
additional stamping as well as adding timer or start and end date if
contained in the mail subject or body.

Hi,
If the user enters text in the command line which has a start
date/time and a end date/time, the item is automatically stamped as a
Calendar event, whether the user explicitly says "/Event" or not. Eg:
"/Msg Meeting from 2-4pm " will create an item which is stamped as msg
and event both.
If the user creates an item (other than a event) with a single
date/time, the alarm is set at that date/time. If the date is
mentioned and no time is specified, the alarm is set at the custom
time of 5pm. If the user enters "/Event" with a single date/time, an
at-time event is created.
Thanks,
Darshana

Darshana, could you chime in about how we're figuring out what's a
task versus an event?
I believe that only dates/times with duration are events, unless the
user specifically says it's an event. So it's in-line with what
you're describing below.

Hello,
Actually I am amending my Chandler Task IMAP folder to Chandler Task
suggestion.
Since Tasks in Chandler now have an alarm setting, if the Mail
Message contains a due date a custom alarm will be set when the IMAP
mail message is downloaded and stamped as Task in Chandler.
If the Mail message contains start and end dates etc. it should be
stamped as an Event and not a Task i.e. placed in the Chandler Event
folder on the IMAP server instead of the Chandler Task folder.
If the user places a Mail message with start and end info in the
Chandler Task folder I am open to suggestions as what to do. When
downloading to Chandler we could display a warning dialog such as
"This Task contains start and end date information would you like to
add it to your Calendar?" or simple ignore the date info and just
stamp it as a Task.
