Outlook Tasks, Task List & Categories
I use the “Getting Things Done” method at work and use Outlook tasks to organize my work activities. I create tasks from emails, apply a category, place priority, next items, the whole process. I get home and use my iPad for checking and responding to email and check my calendar for the next days activities. Problem is I cannot see my TaskList and categorized tasks I rely on to manage my day. I really would like you to consider making tasks and categories available in the IOS app to match the functionality of the MS software.

Tasks at the bottom of weekly view is now available for windows version of outlook. However, im now switching to ipad as full time laptop replacement. This feature would complete the experience for the ultimate productivity tool. Weekly goal would keep the task and calendar integration and drive more focus. Im sure people would love it.

A quick and convenient task list as part of the app
Items can be created from emails or quick thoughts from calls or details or notes from meetings or appointments -

It’s a huge inconvenience that you cannot open and view or manage tasks. I would love to see that fixed.

The best time management techniques all revolve around being able to schedule time for tasks to be accomplished. Tasks should be added to Outlook for iPad, and you should be able to drag tasks onto your calendar to schedule time to complete them.

Put TASKS into Outlook for iOS exactly as they are for the Pc/Mac desktop applications.
Creating “workarounds” and using separate apps is NOT a valid, or viable, alternative.

I agree with this need and other comment details that have been made. It is especially more critical for me because Trello is being rolled into Atlassian and having to be tied to an account. So I’ll be migrating more into Tasks, including my personal but can’t do anything since Tasks aren’t available in iOS.

I have multiple outlook accounts ( Work and Personal) on the outlook app. While having the option to create tasks on To Do List is great, I’m not able to take tasks from both my accounts into my to do list app because to do list is linked with only one outlook account.

I primarily use Apple stock apps within an Apple ecosystem.
The “Tasks” section in the search tab on Outlook iOS app shows my tasks, but only allows me to view them with Microsoft To Do app.
This makes this feature redundant (without coercion into using Microsoft To Do) as I need to exit Outlook & open Apple Reminders to view the same tasks. I can create, edit & delete tasks in the Apple Reminders app.
I don’t want to use Microsoft To Do app. If you won’t let me access my tasks via Apple Reminders app, remove the tasks feature from the Outlook iOS app

Instead of showing the top three tasks on the search homepage it will be better if the user is allowed to select a specific task list, such as my day, to be displayed on the search homepage.

Rename email when flagged as follow up. The portioning the email subject line that shows does not always remind me of why I flagged this Email for follow up.

I like using Tasks In my Outlook app on my iPhone. It works fine on my computer at work but I cannot see all my tasks on my iPhone. Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it

Not able to put tasks in Microsoft Exchange. It is only possible for outlook email IDs. Not available for company IDs.

Why tie tasks to Microsoft todo? Why not allow tasks across all email accounts, but create your own reminder, use a default reminder system, or link to a task manager.

Tasks are assigned to me but I am unable to see the email in Mobile Outlook to accept them. Please allow and once accepted I can see full details in To Do app.
