Yes, I would like something like in Evernote. That I'd have one email address and sending mail to it would insert the content into a new note instead of a bullet within the existing note. Like [account token]@amplenote would insert the content into a new note. And if you put #tag into the subject field it would put that new note under that tag.

Your suggestion is partially implemented. Check out https://www.amplenote.com/help/mail-to-note#Mail-to-note_options for details. Obtaining access to your account token is as simple as stripping the note uuid (the bit after and including the tilda ~) off of the mail-to-note address of any note.

Feel free to submit another suggestion for the ability to tag notes using a syntax inside the mail subject field.

+1 for a dedicated account email address, so that I can forward an email and have it turn into a new note.

This is wonderful! Will we be able to add #tags in the future? It really helps to skip the step of opening Amplenote and categorizing stuff before it gets lost!

Not a planned feature, but an existing feature request, I think. @Joel, please feel free to upvote it/create another one. Thank you!
