Thank you for the input, Leigh. Much appreciated!
I have used the "new task via email" method, but that also seems to only
enable creation of a task in the Inbox root folder. My aim is to create a
new task into a subfolder and bypass the root Inbox altogether.
Your suggested method of copying source text and then launching MLO and
creating a task from the copied text does allow me to specify a subfolder
of my choosing.
But because I have to first copy the source material and then explicitly
launch MLO, and then paste the text into the notes field of the task (and
finally give it a title, if the copied text itself is not serving as the
title) it involves extra steps to store the task where I want it.
I think MLO simply lacks the ability to efficiently process content
*shared* into it (on the Android platform), in the manner I'm looking
for. I know that standard GTD involves capturing items into the inbox as
the first step, but the process I'm evolving seeks to eliminated that
step as a requirement.

Erin,
I tried to replicate what you wanted but couldn't do it directly. I was
able to copy the text message, switch to MLO and create a new task and
paste it in. It's cumbersome but works just not simple like what you're
looking for. Have you tried sending the message to yourself via the MLO
email address?

To be clear, when working on my Android mobile phone, I want to import
a new entry to MLO from an outside application ("sharing" it to MLO),
and directly save the task to a folder other than the root of the
inbox.

What steps must I take?
Thank you,
