Outlook for Mac missing ToDo
Since a recent update, our Mac clients don't have any way to view ToDo or Tasks in the New Outlook. The tasks don't show in the My Day/Task pane, nor do we have a ToDo Icon ion the left sidebar like...
As of Jan 2026, New Outlook for Mac still lacks full Microsoft To Do integration: no sidebar icon, no tasks/flagged emails in the My Day/Task pane (it's just a calendar agenda), unlike Windows.
Flagged emails sync to To Do, but you have to view/manage them separately.
Best workarounds right now:
- Download the free Microsoft To Do app from the Mac App Store – it syncs everything perfectly (flagged mails as tasks, My Day, etc.).
- If available in your build, revert to Legacy/Classic Outlook: Help menu > Revert to Legacy Outlook (note: legacy support ends Oct 2026 for Exchange Online, so this is a temporary fix).
- Use outlook.office.com in a browser for the full To Do experience.
Microsoft is aware of the issue (based on numerous feedback threads) – continue voting on requests in their community to increase
