Hi org community,

How have users of the org and Emacs community set up org-agenda and
org-capture with their Emacs email configuration? In the years I've used
notmuch and org-agenda, I've mostly relied on good email hygiene to keep
my inboxes from overflowing with irrelevant or unimportant emails.
Still, I haven't found a way not to use my email inboxes themselves to
keep track of tasks to a degree. Ideally, separate my inbox from my task
management, delegating org-agenda for that task.

My main problem with trying to use org-agenda for all tasks created from
emails is that the state and relevance of those emails may change
without the todos tied to them changing (unless I update it myself). In
other words, although capturing emails as todos (e.g. create a todo
which has an org link pointing to a given email) is easy enough, email
threads develop in a way that makes todos tied to that thread outdated.
The result is todos which are no longer necessary, todos scheduled for
dates that have already shifted, and so on.

I suppose this inquiry is chiefly directed at those who work on projects
involving team members or clients.

I hope that explanation communicates my difficulties sufficiently. I
thought I'd ask the org community in case anyone has found a workflow
they're happy with.

In gratitude,
Kristoffer
