<p>I've been a long-term user of <a href="http://www.astrid.com">Astrid</a> and <a href="http://www.producteev.com">Producteev</a> to manage my tasks list. When I went to reinstall Astrid today, I noticed that there was no longer a Producteev sync option.</p>
<p>After much digging about on the forums, I found that it's been hidden. You can re-enable by going to Settings -> Misc -> Enable Third Party Add-Ons. Then restart Astrid (may have to reboot Android).</p>
<p>The reason this change has been implemented is that support for Producteev is being phased out. This caused me some concern; I email my tasks to keep a separation between "todo" items and communication emails. However, unfortunately for Producteev, Astrid now do this in-house. Email to: task@astrid.com and it goes on your list. They have similar <a href="http://blog.astrid.com/key-words-for-creating-tasks/">natural language features</a> like: "Get haircut (tomorrow)". I'm going to give this a go but looks likely that I'll switch.</p>
