Send/forward emails to To-Do
Email address so users can email a message to To-Do.

shared this idea
If you use a Microsoft work or school account or a Microsoft-hosted account (e.g. Outlook, Hotmail, or Live.com) you can flag your emails and they will show up in To-Do. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-To-Do-Blog/Flagged-emails-come-to-Microsoft-To-Do/ba-p/366684

Yes, please do this. Its a common tool in most Task Management Apps and puts MS Todo behind by not having it

Zapier can be used to easily send and email to a new TODO task just like me@wunderlist.com works. Zapier can trigger from search term eg a subject that contains "todo" or from a particular email address

Why can't I simply forward an email to To-Do to create a task?
This is so insanely frustrating!!! -

I am copying an anonymous comment from below (04/26/19) verbatim. "This is one of two reasons I don't use To-Do. me@wunderlist.com still works. It can see that it is from one of the accounts that I've registered. This should have been in the first release, but here we are still waiting for this"
And there's a use case: I use Outlook via (essentially) Exchange on-prem. Not outlook.com. Office Pro Plus. So everything you have done to integrate into Outlook gets me excited... and then deflated. Not to mention that my IT folks have locked down the Outlook store.
So, I use Outlook's powerful quickstep rules, along with me@wunderlist.com, and it allows me to populate Wunderlist's list. I would have switched to To-do long ago to help the development, but this is a huge limiting step.
This has been "under review" since May 2017. I've seen things "under review" that are now implemented, like file attachments and multiple accounts. Please, front-burner this one.

I too have numerous eMail accounts and would totally use a simple eMail workflow to create a new ToDo TASK

Polly's response is fine if you only get emails to one Microsoft account.
Myself - I have a gmail, a work O365, a personal O365, a community club O365 and at any one given time maybe one or two client O365 email accounts.
Being able to email from any of these accounts to me@wunderlist.com enables me to consolidate all my tasks in one spot.
When you buy a piece of software and shutter development on it to replace it with your own product the first priority should be to reach feature parity with the product you've just shuttered.
Absolutely no way I can use To-Do over Wunderlist without this feature.

This is the only reasons I don't use To-Do. me@wunderlist.com still works. It can see that it is from one of the accounts that I've registered. This should have been in the first release, but here we are still waiting for this. I use Spark on iOS and Mac, and Spark has a widget to add email to Wunderlist! Very useful

Agreed. On iOS Outlook I have no way to forward/add tasks to To Do... I don’t like using the flag feature as I’ve utilised this as a rule.

Two years plus waiting on a basic feature of literally every competing app out there. Not all of us can use Outlook for everything!

I agree with others - this is the reason I don't use to-do

There has to be this simple way to send email information to To-Do. This should be first on the list since Outlook and other email clients do not have it readily working as of 4/2019.
