Show Flagged Emails from Outlook
Flagged emails need to show in the To-Do list as synced from Exchange. It should be the same as the "To-Do" section in Outlook 2016. Also, need to be able to add reminders for flagged emails!
1,812 votesWe have now released this feature for personal and work accounts for Microsoft To-Do across all platforms. Simply enable the feature in To-Do Settings and flagged emails from Outlook will show up in a special list in To-Do.

Add tags
Tags would allow organization across lists and folders.
Say I have a few tasks that all have the tag #amazon, I could hit the tag and see what other things I need to grab from Amazon regardless of the list or location.
Another useful example would be for modules in a project, #backendAuth #frontendAuth #databaseStoreProcs, regardless of which sprint/list they're located in.

Add button to hide/show completed items
Rather than having option to hide/show them in menu create a switch on top of list to quickly toggle between the two views.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
It's really astonishing that there are no keyboard shortcuts for To-do (unless I'm really missing something). This is particularly essential for to-do lists - you want to be able to mark things as done or important, put them on My Day and so on without breaking up flow.
475 votesWe do support keyboard shortcuts on our Windows 10 (https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?s=tips-tricks&f=using-keyboard-shortcuts-with-microsoft-to-do-on-windows) and Mac (https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?s=tips-tricks&f=using-keyboard-shortcuts-with-microsoft-to-do-on-mac) desktop apps as well as our web app (https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?s=tips-tricks&f=using-keyboard-shortcuts-with-microsoft-to-do-on-web).

Adding a star automatically moves item to top of list
With Wunderlist, I liked that adding a star to a list item automatically moved it to the top. Would like to see this feature implemented.
289 votesIt is now possible to move a starred task to the top of the list across all platforms. Available in version 2.14.

#Tags
When you type # in Wunderlist on ChromeBrowser it lists all already used tag-words, so you just can select if allready existent. This is great!
75 votesUsing #hashtags in Microsoft To-Do is already possible, similar to how they worked in Wunderlist. How this works is described here: https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?p=web&s=tips-tricks&f=using-tags-with-microsoft-to-do

Live Tile 2.0
Live Tile is now available - GREAT! But only items from "My Day" are shown. Ok, it is possible to copy single items onto the "My Day" list, but they disappear at midnight, even if they are not closed. Please keep them on that list as long as they are not closed or cancelled from that list. Otherwise the Live Tile is every morning empty. Other possible solution would be to enable also the allocation of the task list, further prop lists or single items to the live tile. My which is a feature to keep items on the live…
