To-Do's To Do & Outlook's To-Do List
- Jan 09, 2018
While I agree with your request, if you modify your workflow a bit you can get this - I drag emails to the navigation pane and release over the "Tasks" link. That will create a new task with the email contents attached. This has served me better than simply flagging an email.
Hi Michael,
While actual tasks in Outlook's "Tasks" list do sync to To-Do, flagged emails do not currently because they are not task entities in Exchange and rather emails with an added property.
While Brandon's suggestion is a great tip (thank you!) I'm happy to report that we're working on officially supporting flagged emails in Microsoft To-Do (web, desktop, and mobile) in the future.
Best wishes,
Timo

Sorry for the delay! We're actually working on this right now. It will be more seamless and avoid a lot of the issues you see with approaches like the Flow above. I don't have an ETA but it's in development and prioritized high on the roadmap. Thanks!

Great to hear, looking forward to this feature as getting tasks and flagged emails into the same Microsoft To Do 'Bucket' will propel a lot of Getting-Things-Done (GTD) practitioners towards the app.
Ergo, fantastic to have all you need to deal with....in one app!
