Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
I am trying out new outlook and running into same problem. Why has MS not been able to fix a simple issue pending for a year now !
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
OKAY, So I was offered to try out the new outlook desktop today and to be honest I'm in love with the new look.
In addition to being able to now PIN important emails to the top, it also now seems to integrate with Gmail to import and save all of your contacts !!, Another feature that has been missing from outlook forever !!
Anyways, Microsoft and all their wisdom seems to remove functionality or break stuff whenever they think they're fixing and it appears now that the tasks / todo list is nowhere to be found...
MS pointed me to support article that specifically says that they do still have tasks / to-do and that it has been relocated to (MY DAY) Top right hand corner, But there is no tab that says Todo as stated in their support article... see my attached screen shot..
according to the Microsoft article there should be a tab right next to the calendar tab --
Here is the link for the MS article.--Use My Day in Outlook - Microsoft Support
I only use Gmail accounts. I do not use my Microsoft account as my default email provider ... So I'm concerned that the reason why the to-do list isn't showing up for me is because perhaps Gmail doesn't support this functionality (and or) the new outlook can't integrate with Gmail properly...
Please help.

It's not just me. I am having the EXACT same problem finding the TASK icon in the NEW Outlook and I also use GMAIL. As shown above the icon is simply not there.
I hope this issue has been resolved
Doesn't work with Gmail ... only outlook / Microsoft Emails addresses.
