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

Yes you did, but this feature is only available for outlook in the cloud. Many compnaies must store the emails in their local service and it is not possible to have the email future in to do in this case.

We are using an on premise Exchange server at work that is not exaclty state-of-the-art, so it doesn't work with To Do which is a shame. It is very hard and frustrating convincing folks of using new or different tools to organize their work. Setbacks like having to update to a whole new exchange server make this even worse.

On commenting in the Wunderlist, there was a notification on the email, add it to it, and add the option to move the task from one list to another.

This would be awesome because your app is helpful in a way that I am certain you never realized. I am a person that suffers from adult ADD, anxiety and depression and it helps keep a noisy, easily distracted mind organized and on track. This is exceptionally important now more than ever due to the CCP virus situation with lock downs and social distancing. I additionally feel this more than ever because I live alone and as of June 02, 2020 lost my Mommy (I will be 54 on Christmas Day 2020 but she always has been and forever will be "Mommy" to me) so I am grieving her loss approaching my first birthday without her. There are important tasks (basic life & housekeeping tasks) that I need to do but with my chronic disorders and the loss of Mommy I find it hard to focus on.
I like to print the list and post on my refrigerator and I also love that I can access it on my iPad but a custom cheerful background on it would help perk my spirits. I was glad to see that others are suggesting that also.

This works great apart from the fact that when I click on "Open in Outlook ", it always opens in Outlook.com even though my default app for opening emails is Outlook Desktop app. It breaks my workflow to have an email open in my browser instead of the Outlook app. How about making this configurable in the To-Do settings? Thanks!

When you flag an email and it appears in ToDo as a task there is an "Open in Outlook" feature which when clicked opens the email in the Edge browser, I would like this to open the email in the desktop Outlook.

Just want to copy this from others: "On windows desktop app when you click "open in outlook" give an option to open in Outlook for Desktop instead of launching browser."

Funniest joke is that on the Mac version of Outlook it has the option to switch to ‘new outlook’. When you do that you can no longer flag email to show in todo, you click on the todo icon in Outlook and it links you to a web version of todo! That is not good enough Microsoft! 🤦🏽♂️

This is rubbish, why can’t it work like wunderlist did. What happens if I have multiple email accounts I use at the same time? Todo only allows you to link with one email address?!?
This was never an issue with wunderlist, how can you take over an app, shut down the original and make the replacement worse than the original?????? You’re supposed to be Microsoft? Oh wait, same company who won’t let me reply direct to a message in teams desktop, but allows it on phones, who doesn’t have a recall email feature on outlook for Mac but does on Windows version.... 🤦🏽♂️

I would like to use GTD with To-Do list. I can see To-Do lists in Outlook and can't work with my To-Do lists in Outlook. Turning on e-mail flag to re-manage in To-Do is redundant.

I don't want to flag emails. I want to be able to open an email and press a button to convert it to a task. Nothing more.

Unfortunately, I had to turn off this feature because my To Do suggestions was filled up with spam.

Hi,
In mobile application (both in ios and android) "Open with Outlook" link in the tasks does not work. In web screens it works. It has to be developed.
Best Regards.
