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?

    Thanks and yes "OWA wrapped in a "desktop app" --- so true and shut absolute ****. It's not usable on a professional level which is their bread and butter. Microsoft should think about ignoring their prime user group.

    I refuse to use anything OWA **** becuase it's essentially unusable and let's not get started with how absolutely horrible new Outlook is. Was forced to use it for a client for a few months so got to know it very well and the more I learned, the worst it was. The only nice feature is being able to reschedule a series from a certain point moving forward without disturbing the meetings that have already occurred.

    Just another one of Microsoft's half-baked features. They either never follow through with user suggestions to fully make things functional, or they remove and break features when they are fully functional.

    The "New Outlook" is basically the website.

    I would like Ms To Do to open emails in the classic outlook (the one and only usable one...). But I suspect if this is ever being implemented, it will only work with the "New Outlook".

    I had our IT department flag that to MS enterprise support and they have acknowledged that it is a known issue, but don't have resources to get it fixed at least for this year. Hopefully next!
