When I open MS to Do app and open whether it is an email flagged or a task from my planner in teams when I try to open it, it opens in the web-based instead of the desktop. Am I missing a connector to my desktop or something?

    Are you acessing ToDo from within the outlook desktop app? This is the only way it will work, the ToDo stand alone app will still link to the web. You open ToDo inside outlook in the same manner that you would view your Calendar, or your Contacts, from the tool bar on the left.

    If you access ToDo from the Outlook desktop app, by clicking the blue checkmark on the left menu bar (the same place you would select Calendar, or Contacts) you can then open flagged emails in the desktop app. Again this only works inside the outlook desktop app. If you open ToDo directly, the open in outlook feature will link to the web version of outlook.

    I am glad this feature is there, but I feel like it is an 80% solution to the ask. It would be really nice if inside ToDo, you could set an option to choose between the Desktop app, and the web app. Hopefully this will be added some day.

    Given that the New Outlook desktop is being written to mirror the Outlook.com interface, maybe its more web-like architecture can handle the deep links from ToDo.

    Hi,

    While the above is correct, that is when you click the "Open in Outlook" link it will open the email using Outlook desktop version, however the same cannot be said if you click on "Open in Outlook" while in To Do..... it still trys to open the email using the Outlook online which I never use.....

    Any update on this bug ???
