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?
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
has there been any improvement with the todo app?! why would it not open the email in the outlook app rather than a webpage.
Hmm well linking directly to the web version isn't helpful and pretty much makes it useless if it doesn't take a person to where they really need to be, I'm sure this will be another reason for people not to deal with the service.
I agree. I am currently looking for other todo apps because this is so annoying. They clearly all talk to each other.
I second this.
I have returned to investigate Outlook after many years with negligible improvement in MacMail and a main reason for the return was the better interface for following up emails in the old Outlook - but this seems that this capability with new Outlook is worse than with the old Outlook. Surely it can't be too hard to change the link transferred to ToDo from a web link to a local link -as can be done in MacMail working with any other application
I agree this is a much needed feature - how do we get it prioritised on the backlog?
