Microsoft To-Do Creates New Tasks Folder
I just noticed that Microsoft To-Do created a new Tasks folder under my Calendar then used that to place new items I created from the To-Do app. Is that by design?

When I downloaded the app and ran the setup again, it no longer created that "new" Tasks folder under the Calendar root folder. So, I can't reproduce the issue.
I do know, for certain, that this Tasks folder under the Calendar root folder was created by the To-Do app because new items I created in the To-Do app showed up in this "new" folder rather than the root-level Tasks folder.

Eugene - The integration to Outlook is a feature. This article may help (see Outlook Tasks Integration near the bottom):

Hope this helps.
- Correct, it's integrated but it uses the existing Tasks folder - it doesn't create a new one.
- Can you please share a screenshot? I use To-Do and don't have that. All tasks are created in the Tasks folder which is at the root level of my mailbox.

Its a feature, I do this all the time.
In the mobile app, slide across the screen from left to right. At the bottom is "+ New List", this creates a new list in Outlook. Which you can then add task to.
Can't give image from phone, but here it is in Web version of to-do (from my personal not my company account)
