With the last update of To-Do across platforms we have enabled the option to see flagged emails from Outlook as Tasks in Microsoft To-Do. Simply flag an email in Outlook to create a task from it in To-Do.

You can enable this feature in Microsoft To-Do from within the App Settings.

To get the latest version of To-Do please go to https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-to-do-list-app

    Also an option to get all today's events from outlook calendar to MS ToDo's 'My Day' and upcoming events into 'scheduled'.

    Flagged gmail mails should also be integrated with the app and open with outlook and gmail should be provided.

    Flagged emails in Outlook are not showing up in To Do. They were a few weeks ago. After the most recent app update the feature is not working.

    Please add a notepad where we can make notes, so that this app can work like an all rounder

    the functionality doesn't seem work with all email types, only with @outlook.com or hotmail

    No hay buena integración con Outlook. Por ejemplo, si categorizas en Outlook, ¿no sería util que se reprodujeran igualmente esas categorías en To Do?

    The flag email thing feels like a short cut to getting the mail into To do... But it doesn't fundamentally solve the issue.
    The desire is to transfer/ convert the email message to a task leaving behind no traces of the previous version, that is, the email. Please do something Concrete about that.

    If you have stopped us from using Wunderlist, then you need to provide alternatives for what we are used to doing in Wunderlist. I could forward an email to my Wunderlist and then delete the original so I could empty out my inbox. The flagged email thing doesn't work for me, I'm not sure if it's because I have a Mac or because I was forced to create a non-work email address from Outlook to use To Do, but then find out that this Flag to Email feature only works with work email addresses. Get it together, people.

    Thanks for the flagging integration feature..... but... :-)

    If you don't keep the flagged email in your inbox, it marks the Task as completed, even if you have pulled that Task into a different List. So, this requires users to keep the email in their InBox, which is one of the things that most people use ToDo to avoid. Many of us have a process whereby we work toward "InBox Zero" which is a habit of emptying our InBox daily. This integration only works if a user is willing to use their InBox as an additional ToDo list.

    What I'm doing instead: Flag the email. Find it in ToDo. Delete the email. Show completed in ToDo. Uncheck completed. It's a kluge, but it's better than an InBox filled with flags.

    Please could we look at a feature to select an email in outlook and say 'add to list', and you can select which todo list to add it to?

    Also, please can the 'open in outlook' button for emails flagged, open in outlook, rather than o365 web access?

    Simply flagging is not good enough, flags in outlook are also used for other reasons. We need to be able send the email or dairy event to ToDo... please listen to everyone asking for this feature
