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

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?

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.

The FLAG feature works great, I would like this feature to work with the "POST in This Folder" as well. My primary work area is Email and I sometimes use this feature to add information / tasks to my inbox - but when I FLAG it, it does not show up TODO. I do realize I could enter directly into TODO, but again my inbox is my main work area and the start of almost everything I do.

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
