Outlook - Show task from one account only - how?
Diane_Poremsky_MVP
I am using a To-Do Bar. I know where to find view settings. The by account filter does not work correctly or I do not know how to use this.
I made a test with my mailbox and a group mailbox on the same domain.
When I used filter Email Account->contains-> "nameofthegroupmailbox", all the tasks were gone.
When I used filter Email Account->contains-> "mylastname" Outlook showed only tasks from the group mailbox.
Either this is very inconsistent or I do not know how to use this.
As mentioned, I found the tip to use "changed by" field, which is working fine when filtering group mailbox from my private one, but the field does not seem to work when both accounts have the same name but a different domain - To-Do Bar will just show all the tasks from both accounts.

Changed by should be you - email account applies only to actual accounts added to the profile - and owner should be the mailbox name, depending on permissions.

Try using the full email address, not just the name.
Add the changed by, owner, and email account fields to a view and see what the values are - pick the one that is consistent.
- Actually, hold the presses! Tasks created on your phone using Siri do not come with an Owner. Darn! Therefor they do not appear in the To Do Bar using the Owner filter.
Add them manually and its fine. Eureka! I think you have the answer I seek. Owner is exactly <mailbox name>
Not the email address!!! Fortunately for me my employer has left out an apostrophe from my name and my own account has it, so it provides the perfect separator!This does allow Tasks created from Team Chat to appear but sadly not tasks created using Siri. They seem to have no Owner at all. Maybe its Siri?!
