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

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

When an Outlook email arrives that requires follow up, it would be natural to forward it to the To Do List I've created for that type of task. So if I get an email from John Doe and need follow-up being able to add that to my John Doe follow-up list or project would be great. Today I have to type in that information.

Flagging is good but incomplete! I want to flag AND set a date/time for follow up without going to the Flagged Emails list and set it. It's another step.

Flagging is great - but when the subject line is different from the actual task I need to see by name at a glance? Not so much. Please give us the ability to either change the subject line when flagging - or give us the option to email (so we can change the subject line then).

Flagging is a workflow that only semi-functions for the first interaction with a to-do item. It’s pointless when you need to update a task thats in progress, or use the task to review outstanding items with others on your team. Bring back the ability to cc/bcc an email with a wunderlist/todo email and have it drop into the task list.
4000+ people are asking. I’d love to come back to this platform, and its the only thing holding me back at this point.

I'm with the last commenter. Wunderlist made it quick/easy to create a task by forwarding an email. It's been a couple years but To Do still can't do the same? The option to create a task by flagging an email isn't sufficient, for a few reasons that have already been mentioned. Please consider implementing the feature former Wunderlist users appreciated having.

The flagging is good, but To Do contains action items for my personal life and my work life, so my account is not associated with my Outlook account at work. Wunderlist had the proposed functionality, and it is the only feature that I really miss when using To Do.

Brincadeira! Desde 2019 para implementar uma solução que não é absurdamente complexa????
Iniciem a criação de uma tarefa pelo envio de um e-mail... Isso otimiza o trabalho quando não é preciso selecionar um e-mail mais automatizar o envio de e-mail para uma lista específica (criando uma tarefa) ou para uma tarefa (criando sub-tarefas)...
Essa funcionalidade permite integrar a lista de tarefas com outros sistemas para melhorar a produtividade da equipe.

Yeah, but then every email you flag becomes a task whether that was your intention or not. We need to be able to either push a button or right click on an email and create a "to-do" item. It should autofill the feilds based on the email content and provide a suggested due dates and reminders that are editable in the to-do item.

well, it would be very simple - could you just add a rule in outlook online, that let's you flag emails based ona specific word in the subject line.
This would then automatically be taken over to todo.
Can't understandw hy this is not a base setting.

Please add the email functionality that Wunderlist had ... it was the best! No one else has that it would be quite a differentiator!!

I must have the email to create task feature. Giving up on ToDo adding this and switching to TickTick. Not as good as Wunderlist, but better than ToDo and can email to create tasks.

Please allow us to send an email to TO DO. Or at least create some way how I will be able to create a task from an email in my personal Gmail account...

Piling on to other same suggestions here: Restore the Wunderlist functionality that allowed me to send an email to create a To Do list entry

We need to be able to send an email to "to do" to add to the list like we could with wunderlist. To do is a big downgrade from wunderlist in many ways.

If you could add the feature of letting send Mails to Microsoft To-Do inbox again would be highly appreciated.

Wunderlist did it and you can´t manage to do? -

Flagged emails are not enough. I don't want to be locked into a Microsoft email account.
