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?

    Agree! I have already stopped using Outlook at all! on top of this annoying thing, The Mac version of Outlook randomly erases attachments. So now we have to work twice and look bad in front of our customers by sending them an email with an attachment that got lost in the way.

    Out from Outlook!!

    The web versions of all the MS apps are useful for quick remote working on the go, but 90% of my use (and my colleague's use) is done on the full app, for speed and functionality. MS please integrate ToDo with Outlook App - incredibly frustrating and inefficient to be redirected to the browser version. And even more infuriating because this seems like such a simple fix.

    I am fearful of this as well. Other web based options I use are not user friendly and I am not a fan of their web based outlook option.......

    Agreed this is the only thing IMO preventing this from being a great software. It is good but to be great we need to be able to streamline the process i.e. reduce clicking and duplication of efforts. Seems like this would be a quick setting fix.

    Seems like it.

    I would be genuinely interested in hearing the MS argument that the web version of Office is better or preferable than the "suit" of individual applications.

    I still believe they are trying to read the market and attract as many customers as possible, so they are surely thinking people prefer to run everything from a browser.

    Why is that?
