How to view the to-do bar in the new outlook? It is convenient to have the work-day calendar (and/or to-do list) on the side while responding to emails. Previous: New Outlook: EDIT The question was answered. If anything, they made it more accessible than before. Toggle the button on the title-bar:

Agreed, calendar in the to-do bar is a must have feature. I will keep using the desktop version of outlook instead of switching to the faux outlook "webpage in a browser" that is called new outlook.

The Density does not really apply to the My Day feature so the calendar on the right is spread out and I would have to scroll far more. I like being able to see more days than the old To Do (where Microsoft took away the full listing of days a few years ago), but it not very clear and it's not compact enough to make it useful. Below you can see My Day on the left and the old To Do on the right. Although I do like to be able to see the day and date (instead of just Today, Tomorrow etc.) which the old To Do did not give me, it's far easier to use the old To Do - the text is smaller so fits in better, the whole thing is more compact and I and see which day is which more easily.

Hi there, Are you not aware that people use the features you're just removing from the product, what are you actually doing? Is there a forthcoming Outlook Pro app that restores these relied upon features in Outlook that you're artificially building demand for or something? Just completely lost at what this is helping with. Why are you releasing 'upgraded' versions that without any mention have just deleted key functions? Is the banishing of the Tasks Pane/ToDo Pane on the right of the Outlook interface anything to do with the waste of space 'App Bar' 'Hub Bar' that's once again (at least for now it seems) mandatory on the left side? Please consider restoring the Tasks Pane functionality to Outlook as it's very widely used and can't find a shred of justification or planning about its removal? Kind regards, Oscar

I am blown away about the fact that Microsoft neglects the most basic planning functionalities for anyone involved in business. Should we just simply go back to pen and paper calendars next? As someone mentioned in another reply - The power of Outlook running a business for projects, clients, etc. having the possibility to very easily manage your tasks, flagged emails and todos from Onenote in to the Calendar experience was one of the best features in Outlook. And now it is gone. Now Outlook is just a nice looking basic app that can be easily replaced with anything else... Come on Microsoft....... *slap*

For anyone else looking, the To Do is (at least as of now) in the New Outlook view. In the upper right area near the close/minimize/maximize buttosn there's a calendar and checkmark icon next to the notification bell. Hit that and it opens a calendar/to do pane.
