Qrobe The Peer to Peer Search Engine Evernote Brings Widget, Share Extension to iOS 8 I save everything into Evernote. While I’m almost religious about plain text and Markdown for my articles, anything else goes into Evernote: PDFs, screenshots, photos with GPS information, my shared shopping list, and any other note that has a visual component (such as formatting or hyperlinks).

Sure enough, I found I could add my other account as an alternate email address so I could forward these invitations to Gmail and get them on my calendar. Two items worthy of mention: This process doesn't apply to Gmail addresses; they must be from non-Gmail accounts). Here are the steps involved. 1. 2. 3. 4.
