An even better way of capturing tasks from outlook: In outlook for the web, in the top right click Todo pane. From there you can drag your email into Todo, that creates a task right there, you can drag it straight into your list already, no need to sort, it's quicker to rename the task to as the task gets set by the subject line of the email

Loving this content and it is getting me closer to paying for a course with you. You have a great voice and this is a really good taster session.

Will there be a roadmap video for January?

Nice Video, i have a lot of tasks in a SharePoint online list AND Azure DevOps, is there a way to sync them aswell?

I used to love To Do but found that tasks would disappear even though not completed. Until Microsoft address that then I find I just cannot trust it anymore for projects where tasks are long standing items.

A little bit too light. Would be great to explain Outlook intégration more. Is the attachement visible in to do etc. Thanks for the vid

Can "To Do" items, aka 'Tasks, be fed to the main SPoint landing page as a 'news' feed?

Thank you ...

Too bad, there's no integration for Google Tasks.

After a pause of nearly 2 years I have started to return back to MS To-do (simple set-up, cross-platform capability)… but can’t get the email integration with Outlook to work. Even though I have signed into the same personal MS 365 account on all my devices (Windows and MacBook laptops, iPads and iPhone). In the settings I have the planner, but not the email option… any pointers?

Typing task from the bottom seems wrong

To Do is a rubbish. No direct connection to Outlook calendar. Untill a task is planned in the calendar it won't be done. Reminders don't work and are useless. Then there is a planner... with bad integration and features. MS is not doing a good job.
