Outlook Mail Integration
Having a quick way to convert emails in Outlook to tasks that show up in Microsoft To-Do.

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

I am using To Do for Mac. Although flagged emails appear on Tasks, only the title of the email and the first paragraph appear. To read the full email, I press "Open in Outlook," but even though I have the desktop version of Outlook, instead To Do sends me to my browser to open the email on the web version of Outlook. Why?? Please let me open the email directly from To Do, or open it on my desktop version.

When using the Online To-Do, there is a link for open the Outlook email, but there is not one when using the APP. I love this online feature and would use the app if it had it.

A way to create a task from an e-mail would be better. In that task just link to the e-mail (or e-mail thread). I cannot control the subjects other people use in e-mail which gives me task description which do not help.

It would be nice to be able to email tasks to a list. It would also be nice to be able to create tasks from a text message.

In the Outlook web interface, one can simply drag an email to the To Do list. Flagging the email seems much clunkier.
It would also be great if the accompanying email could be opened from To Do with the Outlook desktop app, instead of the web interface.

Please add in the next step feature that's in To Do into Outlook Tasks - it is super annoying not being able to see what your next action is within Outlook Tasks and having to constantly go back into the To Do app to check. I use To-Do/Outlook interchangeably for Getting Things Done methodology of productivity

In wunderlist there was an add on that you could install in outlook where you could create a new item, attach the email, and edit all details for the item (due date, reminder, etc.)
Can we get something like that ?

Hello, I was wondering if a) it is possible to integrate Task with Calendar and b) have all three(3) Mail, Calendar and Task list to be shown on Screen so you dont have to click on the icons shown below Outlook. What i have in mind is this. 1) Personally i start of putting my To Do's in a Task list software so they dont get forgotten and there are tasks that needs to be done, but you want to group them for a reason.2) once i have a schedule in mind i transfer the Task to calendar complete with Date and Time. I there is NO TIME indicated it means a TASK that has to be done within the day and is displayed on the calendar. No. 3 once completed, mark completed in Task automatically crosses out the item on the calendar. Thats what i am looking for at the moment. Google has something similar but it needs to be connected to the internet. I need something to work on even when there is NO INTERNET. It just syncs when i get home or when i work in a WiFi area. Just a thought to might want to consider on your next upgrade. Thank you!

This has to happen asap! What we really need is To-Do to show up where Tasks reside now on your home email screen.

This would be a better feature if you did NOT have to flag the email in order to get it into ToDo. The flagged feature is fine, but help me get other emails in as unflagged tasks. Then, when you click on "Open in Outlook" from within a task in ToDo, can it PLEASE open in the Outlook desktop program I already have running on my PC and not go to the web-based Outlook. Please.

Still waiting for this. This was one of the powerful features in Wunderlist, why not here too.

Can we get it so that you can have the advanced settings > link handling option in To Do? our organisation has implemented MFA (i dont know if you can control how often this checks in but they have done it to a degree that makes using the web apps pointless) if flagged mail can redirect to the desktop this would solve this. thanks

Bidirectional Sync is needed. When i complete a task from flagged mail, To Do should be ask if this flag should be removed from mail

This works great. In the details of the task as flagged email there's a link called "Open in Oulook". This opens Outlook in the browser. Would it be possible to open it in the desktop app when using the desktop Todo app.

The outlook flag feature is really nice. It would be great if it could work with multiple email accounts.
Also, it only works with Exchange/Outlook. I have multiple email accounts but none of them are associated with my Microsoft account that I sign on to To Do with.
