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?

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.
has there been any improvement with the todo app?! why would it not open the email in the outlook app rather than a webpage.

Nah not that I've noticed.
With all of the software development manpower at Microsoft's disposal, I am not mad, but more just amazed that it is still not possible to do this basic thing, that you would have thought is one of the most central functions to having a suite of integrated apps, and the whole thing that software companies like Microsoft pride themselves on (providing tools to simplify your life).
'Email' can talk to 'to-do, yet 'to-do' cant talk back to 'email', except via a 3rd redundant browser app that you are forced to open (that, lets be honest no one uses), and opens a new tab for every separate click? Yuck.
Any convenience I get from being able to flag emails into the to-do list, is cancelled out completely. Trying to compete with Apple or not? jeez.
I fully agree with all these comments.
Im setting up the ToDo app as the main task managing and integrate teams, flagged emails from outlook and our CRM.
The sam issue happens when you are working on the Outlook desktop and clik to open ToDo, it sends you to the web format!!!
When is this going to be resolved? if not I will not use the ToDo app anymore...
