Outlook for Mac missing ToDo
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
priority. Share your version/build for more specific tips if needed! 😕
Another workaround is to disable the update as soon as possible and hope that the ToDo integration is still there or somehow switch back to the November version. This means you'll have to work with it for a long time until Microsoft finally listens to its customers and re-enables ToDo integration in New Outlook for Mac. Until then, New Outlook is no longer a good program. The separate To Do app is not a good solution because it only links to Outlook.com and does not provide all the previous features for paying customers.
