To-Do's To Do & Outlook's To-Do List
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.
I totally agree. The vast majority of my tasks/to dos in Outlook originate from flagged emails so to not have these syncing just seems like a fundamental undermining of the app functionality. For me (and it appears many others), this renders the app useless and as is why I continue to use TaskTask who appear to have worked out how to do it.
