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?

    Yes, the need to open a To Do item from Outlook in the Outlook desktop client is very much needed. Issues like lack of signature, use of 3rd party Outlook functionality, etc. is lost when only the Web version of Outlook is used.

    Please can this be included as a feature, it is massively helpful to bringing in this tool to less tech confident team members as it is the programme they are used to and fully set up on.

    I agree this is a much needed feature - how do we get it prioritised on the backlog?

    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. I am currently looking for other todo apps because this is so annoying. They clearly all talk to each other.
