I am using categories in Outlook to categorize my actions. Is there a way to sync these categories into T-Do?
For example: task marked with the yellow category (Follow Up) should end up in a similar list in To-Do (called Follow up)

@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!!!

@Kiran Thalakokkula The user voice post you suggested was merged into a different suggestion regarding groups and has nothing to do with Outlook Categories. While the groups are a great addition, they don't address syncing categories from Outlook. There are several posts requesting Outlook Categories to sync to To-Do, some in other languages. The one with the most votes, 874 at the moment, is this one:
It would be really great if the To-Do team could look through the User Voice posts on a regular basis and merge the ones that really are about the same topic.

@Kreera House I totally agree it is not the same. While creating groups is a nice functionality it does not really help me. I often add e-mails to my to do lists and I would like to have a function in outlook to make sure they end up in the right bucket/list. In outlook working with categories works fine, but these categories do not sync in to do. In outlook I do not have an option to add e-mails to the to do lists.... so I end up categorizing twice.

@guran99
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 )
