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?

    Not true.

    The connection from Outlook to ToDo app is broken. It doesn't matter if from Outlook app or Outlook web, when you click on the ToDo "Functionality" it always opens the web version of ToDo.

    If what you say worked, it wouldn't be a workaround, but the solution to the problem.

    Nah. I gave up on ToDo and switched to Todoist. Congrats to Microsoft, I still don't understand the rationale of all this, because I refuse to think they are just "idiots"...

    Within Outlook 365 you can add apps to the left hand column.

    Add ToDo app

    Then select Todo (from new shortcut in Outlook)

    When a task is selected you can then open the saved email in Outlook

    If you are referring to Outlook 365 (the web-based version) then you are missing the point of this topic. If you are referring to the pc installed app Outlook, then I do not see any apps that can be added to the left-hand side.

    Read the topic and the replies, first.

    We are talking about app-to-app.

    I don’t think there is nor there will be a solution for this.

    MS clearly thinks this is irrelevant.

    That's so incredibly untrue. Why did you even bother commenting?

    Clicking on the ToDo app in the left-hand column of the Outlook 365 app brings me to the web version of ToDo, which is asinine.
