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

If you have enabled the ‘Flagged email’ option from settings in To Do, then any email you flag in Outlook will show up under the ‘Flagged email’ smartlist.
From the Outlook web app, you can create a task out of an email by right-clicking —> Advanced actions —> Create task. You can also select a message in the body of an email and create a task out of it.

It would be great to be able to make a flagged email on the Desktop Outlook app for Mac, into a task in To-Do
Thank you! -

Tasks created in To Do from a flagged email in Outlook (Win10) then open in the Outlook web app rather than in the native program which created the To Do item. I don't find that all that useful, would be much much much much much better to round-trip back to Outlook. I don't use the Outlook web app, why would I when there's a native app

Hi - just having 'Flagged' or 'Create Task' is of little or no use as it dumps EVERYTHING into one long unsorted list of 'flagged emails' or 'Tasks' in todo. The ideal would be to be able to drop/ save the email into the specific 'lists' one has created, so you can save related tasks together. (similar to how OneNote works - you can save the email to a specific tab or page even. so you can gather related things into manageable groups.
One LONG list in Todo is NOT really that helpful.
I know you can then move the unsorted tasks into the lists manually, but that is double trouble and more hassle than iit needs to be. Wont use Todo in this format. I don't care where a tasks comes from, im interested in what project it relates to.

Would like a full to-do list to show up when I try to email a list. It cuts off the list 3/4 of the way through.

I would like the option to open up flagged items in the outlook desktop app and not always taken to the online version. This would be amazing if we can do this.

The fact that I can't flag my emails from my gmail account and have them turned into tasks in MS To Do is ridiculous. It's the reason I won't be using Outlook anymore. Also, requiring a PoP account to use Categories...? Is this 1991? Who uses PoP!?!

If I understand this correctly , u can do this. I use regularly.
Just setup a “quick step” so when ur in an email you select the quickstep u setup and it will take the email and make it a task.
But I must not be understanding the request because the developer who responded should of know this!

why do categories used in outlook not match lists in to do? currently it is a 2 step process of categorising tasks if we want to use outlook on the web and microsoft to-do - more integration required ala outlook desktop - the interface of outlook desktop is looking very dated though!

I would like to get an email to my configurable when the reminder is fulfilled. the flag emails comes with unneccesary info that must be ommited and it's too much time for a busy person. Though I mostly like to work in Outlook desktop version when i open an email and not the online version.
Thanks

I have 5 different E-Mail Inboxes in my Outlook. It would be nice to be able to choose the account I want to use for the To Do. The default is my outlook adress and I want to be able to integrate my work/study email.

My suggestions:
1) Ability to move emails to a task.
Often a lot of correspondence is required before the task is completed, and it always takes some time to get a response to your previous email.
With this feature, the inbox would be tidy and all emails related to a task are available together and sorted chronologically. Also very good for a review after the task is finished. Indexing for later search would be useful as well.2) Task description with sequential number
Possibility to add a sequential number (Task-ID) to the task description. -
MS To Do Task is Overdue

Wow - 1129 comments at present date Feb 21 and 12.4k people voting to have this accomplished. What is taking so long for a corporation like this to fully intergrade their software packages? Especially an organisational tool that's meant to make it easier to organise your time but it makes it harder... the irony - one would think microsoft is looking out for your money not your personal interests...

Not sure if this was already suggested here, but it would be super useful if "Open in Outlook" option would actually open that email in Outlook desktop app (and *not* in Outlook web app in the browser -- or at least to have the option to choose one or the other)
