I have started to give a look to Microsoft To-Do.
I am a (veeery) long time user of Outlook Tasks and I was pleased to see that Outlook Tasks got automatically synchronized in Microsoft To-Do. But I would have expected that Outlook Tasks reminders appeared automatically as To-Do reminders on my iPhone. Unfortunately this seems not to be the case: reminders are indeed set in To-Do but they don't trigger any kind of notification on the iPhone. Moreover, overdue Outlook Tasks don't appear automatically in My Day list in To-Do and it looks like I have to manually add them.
What am I missing?

AFAIK, at the moment only Tasks are synced from Outlook to To-Do, not flagged emails.

Hi @Candy Ho.
I do hope that syncing flagged email to To-Do will not be mandatory!
I have several customers who are now beginning to use To-Do that will not be happy of this.
Please make it configurable in settings!
Thanks.

Hi, Salvatore and @Candy Ho. Has the initial issue of To Do completely messing up dates on recurring tasks (and it seems non-recurring tasks) been addressed? I'd like to know if To Do is safe to use. Like you Salvatore, I have hundreds of tasks, many of which are recurring, and I can't risk this kind of issue. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi @Beverly Beyer.
The issue appears to have been addressed.
Now I am using To-Do without problems, also if it has very few features, compared with full-fledged Outlook Tasks, but at least it does not mess things up...

Thank you, Salvatore! I really appreciate your help with this. Very best wishes!

I've managed to get this working by using Microsoft Flow integration from Outlook to Microsoft To-Do. I suggest you to try.
The problem is that when you mark the task as completed on To-Do, It doesn't unmark the flag back on the email.
Maybe we can get a workaround for this problem by setting a unmark rule for all emails based on a time trigger or something. I'm still looking for a solution to this last part.

Agree, Tasks has a long way to go. There's currently little similarity with Outlook 2016 (Tasks) and the Tasks app itself. The Outlook version of Tasks is far more detailed and when you try to mix the two you get the issues you refer to.

I think you mean Microsoft To-Do, don't you? :)
Anyway, I am now using routinely Microsoft To-Do and this is my takeaway:
Just my two cents...

Salvatore, thanks for sticking with this issue. Appears to-do now works and Im giving it a go.
Of interest, I'm also now starting to switch over to one-note for managing my projects and volumes of notes. I have successfully created an outlook task in one-note, which then syncs to both outlook and Microsoft to-do. That type of integration is very useful for those that might use it.

Microsoft bought Wunderlist and merged it into To-Do, so Wunderlist no longer works in Outlook. <sigh>

As of TODAY, To-Do is NOT SAFE! Do not use it!
I just uninstalled it again, after another failed test.

Just TODAY, To-Do began messing up my Outlook tasks, so I uninstalled it.
