Addresses – AddressBook.app (iCloud MobileMe Syncing).These are for lists of things, like frequent flyer numbers, which I want at hand, or extended bits of work that I do on one machine, but want available on another (work vs. Thus I am trying to follow the GTD rule of “touching it once”. This ensures long term items stay out of the InBox and that I don’t return reviews too soon, which just encourages the editors to send more (no good deed goes unpunished). The problem is long-term items, like journal reviews (sorry other editors), which have their own folder (Reviews ToDo) which I check monthly. If it is in the InBox, it is for me to do. Mail – Mail.app (the backend is Gmail Gopher mail) I used to use lots of rules and folders, but have switched to two major folders, InBox and Archive.
These are all fixable with effort, but why bother for something used only a few times each? OpenID maybe? Orcid? The consequence is I have many log-ins which are difficult to track, even for the same journal. Also please stop sending passwords in the clear in email messages!). Spend some of your billions Elsevier and get this working.

For the Journal of Transport and Land Use we use Open Journal System. Much of this is aligned with my Sisyphean objective to be paperless (to be strived for, but ultimately frustrated by the workings of others).
