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

I have several tasks that come in via form submission and having them auto-create the task (including the attachment with them) would be easier than having to manually create the task or flag the email

Hi, every good ToDo app on the mobile platforms have a possibility to e-mail to your inbox of your todo app. All productivity methods promote this feature. I use BrainToss to collect everything in my head (via voice recording, text or even photo), it sends the content via e-mail to my ToDo app (ToDoIst at the moment). I use ToDo with my company account but would love to use it both for work and private, but without this feature this I not possible.

Getting fed up with hearing what you can do with business/student accounts. I want to know what you are doing about what you can't do with personal/home (non-exchange accounts. Pathetic that I can't see my Outlook calender and tasks on my android phone without considering more financial outlay.
If I could financially justify a business account, I would have one, but the need for integration of outlook with smartphone for someone not sat at a desk all day is there whichever account is used.

If they were going to take Wunderlist over, Microsoft should just have used their software and just put their name on it. Done! But no, they had to make their own and completely ruin it. If only I ruled the world...

While we're at it, bring back not only this feature but all of the other features of Wunderlist. If you're going to replace a product, don't lose everything that was great about the old one. I was a huge fan of Wunderlist. To Do? meh.

No google assistant / ifttt integration, and can't work around it by assistant->ifttt->sending email (as was done with Wunderlist).
I'm usually recommending Microsoft products but this approach of buying a competitor's superior product just to nerf it, is absolutely ridiculous.

Indeed this works, but only for one e-mail account, and of course this is not enough, many users have more than one account. I myself have 6 e-mail account because of a somewhat complex work situation

All the other task managers that I have used have this feature and I miss it. I really need it at work because I am trapped in a non-Outlook world, flag my notes all day and nothing will happen. Please ring back the add a note by email function.

Wunderlist was my go to ToDo Manager until it was killed off by Microsoft. A feature that I miss was the ability to send an email received to the todo manager. As it required an action. I now use the substituted MS ToDo but MISS the ability to forward emails to the ToDo application. Please pull out the stops to rectify this.

Just killed Wunderlist and left us alone with a beta version. Don‘t they ever use their products? Or ask somebody who does?

We don't all use Outlook everywhere. Being able to email tasks into your chosen task management system is vital to collecting everything in the same place. Not only that, but we don't necessarily want every flagged email added to the to do list. Please just return the feature Wunderlist handled so well. Use what you had and improve on it. Add, don't replace with substandard. Thanks.

It was so simple. All you had to do was leave Wunderlist the way it was and just change the name. Without this feature it's a no go.

It's a major let down. Seems like Microsoft wants to lose all non Microsoft-hosted account users. Dangerous strategy...
