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.

I absolutely agree. Sometimes internet is not an option. (Airplanes... In a mountain getaway...) And, frankly, sometimes I don't WANT to be be connected to the internet and yet still use my "devices" stand-alone.
Some people... (corporations) don't git it!
Jennifer Prince... Are you an A.I. bot? Because your answers suggest that you are.
Unfortunately, it looks like Microsoft removed the original thread because the link does not work takes you to a landing page that says we're sorry this thread doesn't exist.
Tested and resolved using this article:
Start looking into PSAs today. Find a new suite of products as your business grows. MS is less and less friendly and without an upgrade path you will likely lose all your legacy data in desktop tasks anyway. So just get away now. I tried all their suggestions. None of them took attachments etc. With window supdates being so haphazard in impacting operations you are better off taking command and control over your managed environment than allowing them to continue to side blind you with 'features' that interrupt ops.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, this is why we are so angry and frustrated; they are not taking care of us and allowing strangers to do so instead. Thank you Jennifer. They are monsters. Thanks for being an Angel.
We need direct instructions for how to turn off the new outlook button. Desktop Outlook.
I am experiencing a work stop. My call center cannot operate without Tasks. We are a legacy customer with all of our history in there.
