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?

Hello Diane,
It's been 4 years, **** is the fix for this??? This cannot be so hard to fix. Maybe MS should try putting us customers first, instead of trying to force everyone on to the God awful Outlook web.
It still seems to be not possible to open emails in the desktop app. I'm on Mac and I use Microsoft Todo with Outlook Classic.
Still awaiting for ... i don't think this is very hard to change it ..
I forgotten use Microsoft ToDo and now use Outlook embedded ToDo ... sad
Did you find another app that communicates with Outlook desktop?
Organizations don't necessarily have web mail enabled. I use the web client for my personal email sometimes, but it would not be suitable for work. Seems like once a year I get excited about using To Do and then rediscover why I don't. Using the first bit of an email to search for it in Outlook is cumbersome.
I understand the fix is difficult, but people are not going to stop using the thick client no matter how much you want them to.
