Use “Tasks you email yourself” in Recued. Email your own address with +task before the @ and the subject becomes a task, with the message as its notes. Only mail your mailbox records as sent by you counts. A Gmail mailbox works as is; another needs its Sent folder synced. It starts when that email arrives, not on a timer.
