ToDo, Flagged Emails and opening in Outlook Desktop

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?

    Did you change any settings? Mine still does not function like this.

    Correct, I'm on a PC. As you know, historically, the functionality of the Office apps on a Mac lag behind their PC counterparts.

    I'm also on PC (Windows 11) and I still have the issue.

    I do see the To Do icon in the left-hand pane; however, clicking on that To DO icon still opens up the Web-based version in my browser which defeats the purpose.

    Howe are you able to click on the To-Do icon and keep it in the Outlook desktop app? Is there a setting I'm missing to enable? I can't find anything relevant to change.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
