+# org-gmail: A Deep Integration of Gmail into Your Org Mode

+
+For many, email is the starting point for tasks, projects, and reference
+material. While Emacs has powerful, full-featured mail clients like Gnus
+and mu4e, they are designed to manage the entire email workflow.
+
+org-gmail offers a different approach: it is not a replacement for a full
+mail client, but a tool for deeply **integrating** your most important emails
+into your Org Mode knowledge base.
+
+This talk will introduce org-gmail, a package that allows users to fetch
+entire Gmail threads or individual messages and save them as entries in Org
+mode files. The core idea is to triage emails in the Gmail interface and
+pull relevant threads into Org Mode, where they can be linked to tasks,
+notes, and projects.
+
+We will explore the key features of the package, including:
+
+-   Fetching emails by label and syncing new messages for previously downloaded labels.
+-   Managing labels directly from Emacs, including creating, deleting, editing, and bulk-moving threads between labels, which updates both Gmail and the corresponding :LABEL: properties in your Org files.
+-   Performing common email actions from within Org Mode, such as replying, forwarding (delegating), snoozing (deferring), and moving messages to the trash.
+-   Integrating emails into a task management workflow by creating actionable sub-tasks that appear in the agenda.
+
+The session will demonstrate practical use cases for both Getting Things
+Done (GTD) and the P.A.R.A. method (Tiago Forte). For GTD, we'll show how
+to process a Gmail inbox, download actionable emails into an Org file, and
+then defer, delegate, or create TODO items. For P.A.R.A., we'll demonstrate
+how to label emails according to projects and areas, and how to archive
+them systematically using the bulk-move feature.
+
+By the end of the talk, attendees will understand the unique workflow
+org-gmail enables and how it can help them turn their email into a
+structured, actionable part of their Org Mode system.
+

+and podcaster. He is the CEO of Spirelia, a company that helps innovate. He
+has authored a book called Karmic Design Thinking and holds 3 patents.
+
+In this talk, Bala will introduce org-gmail, a package he developed to
+seamlessly integrate Gmail with Org Mode. You will learn how to transform
+your important emails into actionable tasks and reference material,
+leveraging the power of Org Mode for a more organized and productive
+workflow that supports methodologies like GTD and P.A.R.A.
