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

As so many have indicated before creating a To Do item by simply dragging and dropping from Outlook (Windows and macOS) would be a great addition. Listing only flagged emails doesn't really suit my needs

We would like to see this integrated in the Outlook desktop app.

The To-Do app is helpful but would be a lot more effective by opening emails in the outlook app versus the web like the task section in outlook app.

It would be very helpful if the button "Open in Outlook" would open the email in the app and not in the web version. As I never work with Outlook Online, I have no use at all for the feature as it is right now and always look manually for the flagged mail.

Flagged emails are not appearing in ToDo from my work email account ( which is the same as ToDo). However, Planned items in MS Planner do appear.

Microsoft ToDo is linked with Microsoft email id.
I want to link my work email account with Microsoft ToDo so as to have flagged email from my pst file in my mobile to do list.
Also i would like to configure calender app in smartphone with my to do list to generate reminders -

Soooo true, Randy! If you open the flagged/tasked email and ‘reply’ to it (ie 99% of the time) you are usually not replying to the latest email in the conversation. Not a great look. 😢

When I'm in To Do and I select a flagged email to review in Outlook, the app launches the web version of Outlook, and not the app version. When using the web version of Outlook I cannot use "search for related emails", because this feature doesn't exists on the web version.

I was excited when I read today’s app update announcing the task creation from Outlook. However, it works only with outlook and exchange accounts. I’m frustrated because I can't do that with my Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo accounts managed through the Outlook app. There is not an easy way to create a To Do task from IOs Outlook. Are you planning to provide this feature in the future? Is this an impossible thing to do?

This feature needs to allow aggregating To Do Tasks from a user’s multiple email addresses.

How about when we select 'open flagged emails' the application access it in the actual application, rather than attempting to open outlook in the browser?

Can we allow Tasks that have been generated from Outlook emails to, open in Outlook Desktop and not the Online Version

When you point a mail in your inbox of outlook, the update with the list of ToDo is not automatic. The app spend some hours. You lost efficiency with this delay.

Can we get a yes or no answer please? Will To-Do ever open an attached email in the Desktop version of Outlook?

I desperately need to be able to create a to-do from any email without flagging it. Then, when I click on my to-do item, I need to have the option of going to my local Outlook app on my PC, not to the web-based version, to read the email. That is very frustrating when it has to take me to the web when I already have the program open on my PC!

The flagged email in To Do shows the message only partially. It should be possible to open the email directly in Outlook. There is an option in To Do to open it in Outlook but it opens in a web version of Outlook which doesn't give the same functionality as Outlook itself

Feature in Mac OS opens Outlook Web, not the local Outlook client app. Useless now but would be great to have! Already suggested several times in the comment section but no upvote option.
