Outlook Tasks in Microsoft To-Do
I have started to give a look to Microsoft To-Do. I am a (veeery) long time user of Outlook Tasks and I was pleased to see that Outlook Tasks got automatically synchronized in Microsoft To-Do. But I...
I think you mean Microsoft To-Do, don't you? :-)
Anyway, I am now using routinely Microsoft To-Do and this is my takeaway:
- To-Do is basically a view of Outlook Tasks: all folders in To-Do are bidirectionally synced with Outlook Tasks folders in EOL. This is a point that is important to grab!
- In To-Do, you have by default an additional folder called My Day, which is, in turn, a view of items in other To-Do folders. This means that there is not a corresponding folder in Outlook Tasks and that you can add to My Day only tasks that already exist in other folders. (I don't need and don't use My Day.)
- Outlook Tasks have many more fields than tasks in To-Do, but such fields are not scrambled when you manipulate tasks in To-Do, which is good.
- Notifications in To-Do now work regularly (at least in the IOS app).
- Outlook Tasks are not scrambled anymore by To-Do.
- AFAIK, To-Do is the best way available to use Outlooks Tasks on an iPhone and it is free.
Just my two cents...
Salvatore, thanks for sticking with this issue. Appears to-do now works and Im giving it a go.
Of interest, I'm also now starting to switch over to one-note for managing my projects and volumes of notes. I have successfully created an outlook task in one-note, which then syncs to both outlook and Microsoft to-do. That type of integration is very useful for those that might use it.
