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!

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.

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…

Make lists pane show permanently in iPad landscape mode
The list pane on the left side should be always visible in the Landscape mode on iPad. I think that's a good usage of the white space available.

Customisable live tile
It would be really useful if users were given the option to customise exactly what appears on the live tile rather than just the 'my day' list. There should be an option to have the live tile display the details for tasks flagged as 'important,' for example, which would be incredibly useful for users working on projects or assignments which haven't been added to the 'my day' list.
2 votesHey, you can add any list as a live tile. https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?l=en&p=all&s=tips-tricks&f=using-live-tile-with-microsoft-to-do
