Change the way a new task is created when dragging an email into the task pane.
Currently, you can drag an email in the tasks pane and it will create a task. However, it doesn't give you the ability to change the details of task when creating. When you open the task, you are taken to the email but are unable to change the task details (due date, comments, etc). This is a big issue because it makes selecting the due date more difficult and it prevents you from adding notes. You can change the due date using the task lists but this adds another step.
Suggested Resolution: Either add the task fields above the email or have the drag and drop add the email as attachment to a regular task instead.

It would be great to be able to move and email onto the calendar in the To-Do bar and get the follow up scheduled for that specific date.

While you are creating an email, you can set it as a task through the email's ribbon instead of dragging and dropping, but adding task fields such as notes in that section of the ribbon would be great for things that need to be added later.

also, if the mail is not handeld as a task, it won't show up in the "to-do-app".
The handling of a mail as a task should also be possible at the mobile app where you can mark the mail my swiping left/right.
