ToDo, Flagged Emails and opening in Outlook Desktop

The web versions of all the MS apps are useful for quick remote working on the go, but 90% of my use (and my colleague's use) is done on the full app, for speed and functionality. MS please integrate ToDo with Outlook App - incredibly frustrating and inefficient to be redirected to the browser version. And even more infuriating because this seems like such a simple fix.

Agree! I have already stopped using Outlook at all! on top of this annoying thing, The Mac version of Outlook randomly erases attachments. So now we have to work twice and look bad in front of our customers by sending them an email with an attachment that got lost in the way.

Out from Outlook!!

Hi,

While the above is correct, that is when you click the "Open in Outlook" link it will open the email using Outlook desktop version, however the same cannot be said if you click on "Open in Outlook" while in To Do..... it still trys to open the email using the Outlook online which I never use.....

Any update on this bug ???

Given that the New Outlook desktop is being written to mirror the Outlook.com interface, maybe its more web-like architecture can handle the deep links from ToDo.

If you access ToDo from the Outlook desktop app, by clicking the blue checkmark on the left menu bar (the same place you would select Calendar, or Contacts) you can then open flagged emails in the desktop app. Again this only works inside the outlook desktop app. If you open ToDo directly, the open in outlook feature will link to the web version of outlook.

I am glad this feature is there, but I feel like it is an 80% solution to the ask. It would be really nice if inside ToDo, you could set an option to choose between the Desktop app, and the web app. Hopefully this will be added some day.
