Syncing categories from Outlook to To-Do
Kiran Thalakokkula I use GTD Methodology to organize my tasks by categories in Outlook and would love to see Categories synced with To-Do App. The only App on iPhone supporting Category Sync now is Task-Task or Task&Notes on Android. Such a shame To-Do doesn't support it yet!!!

I use hashtags # in subject lines in Outlook to tag an email since those are searchable in To Do. So for example if I am waiting for a reply on an email, when I send the email out I add #wf to the subject line, set the follow up flag (so it will go to To Do) and save a copy in @waitingfor folder in Outlook. (I have rules that automatically set the flag and move an email to @waitingFor if it sees #wf in the subject line).
Because that email is flagged it will show up in the Flagged Email list in To Do. Now that it is in To Do I can search for it by searching for the tag #wf and it will show up and I can move the 'task' to whatever list I want. (Here is video I put together on To Do integration since people were asking - hope that helps... https://youtu.be/r0jK54jLwFw )
