To-Do not syncing with Outlook
I am having the same issue.robfromworcs
I have all accounts synced and from one note to outlook, tasks are working perfectly
I then installed ToDo through the google store so that tasks would show on my s20plus
I then installed ToDo through the microsoft store on my windows 10 freshly updated machine.
Cannot get anything to sync.
Nothing old or new will show up in ToDo
If i add a task on ToDo, it syncs to the app on my laptop.
If i add a task through outlook, no love
if i add a task through onenote, no love
There are no disabled add-ins and I cannot see any add-ins for ToDo in the com-addin section

A couple of possible solutions...
Are you sure you're logged into the same Microsoft 365 account in Outlook and in To Do? I have a personal and a work account. You can add an account (or change it) in the settings for To Do.
Setup integration: Make sure the settings in To Do (click the drop-down next to your name in the top-left and select Settings), under the Connected Apps area are set to allow:
* Planner
* Flagged email
The only other problem I can think of is - are you creating Outlook tasks in the normal manner? When I add tasks using the Outlook bar, they always sync with To Do. But when I create a rule that creates tasks (such as converting an email to a task) for some reason, those items don't sync.
Hope some of that is helpful.

I realised both accounts were showing tasks all mixed together. When I cleaned this up it now looks the same as my desktop did earlier 🙂
Solved fingers crossed.
I have a similar problem with the Mac-App "Reminders": Old items are synced, I can see it in the web client (owa), but not in my desktop client (outlook). New items are synced fine to both: owa and outlook.
Even when I change an old item, it will not show up in the desktop application (outlook).
I found kind of a "solution": When I update the priority of an item it will be synced to the desktop outlook, too. So I went through every task ;-( and updated the prio to e.g. low, waitetd for sync and then changed it back to what it was.
Maybe this helps?
I still cannot get flagged emails to sync between Outlook and To Do, but if I drag the email to the blue 'My Tasks' icon in the bottom left of Outlook and press Save & Close or Alt + S on my keyboard, it will sync with To Do and show up in the Tasks folder there. I think there should be a more automated way, but this works well enough for me.

It does not matter how i create the task.
I can create a task through one note, outlook and todo.
No matter what combination i use, cannot get it to sync up.I can make a task on ToDo and only see it synced to TODO on my desktop or phone.
Does Microsoft ever look at these forums?
