But aside from giving a simple task manager which would let users posts the things they need to do as a reminder, Gmail Task also lets users to convert existing Gmail message into en entry for the Task manager.
Once users convert their emails, it is automatically listed as a task item.

Great I need a tool to help me keep track of to dos. thanks for the heads up.
To enable Tasks, go to Settings, click the Labs tab (or just click here if you’re signed in).
Select “Enable” next to “Tasks” and then click “Save Changes” at the bottom.
Then, after Gmail refreshes, on the left under the “Contacts” link, you’ll see a “Tasks” link.
Just click it to get started.

I’d like to see a similar application where a gMail message can easily be converted into a calendar entry.
