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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
For those who keep saying to just open the "my day" panel and To Do will be in there. Just so you know, this is what most of us see...
Not sure if I'm asking this correctly but I'll give it a try. Has anyone tried configuring you New Outlook to send emails from your outlook.com account while retaining your gmail address as the sender? Will that allow the To list to appear?
I went to the more apps icon in the left menu bar. I added the task list to the side bar options and pinned it per the instructions on the pop up dialog box. Adust the properties as needed to tailor for your use. I elected to add the date completed and complete tasks.
Jennifer - nice of you to chime in. But I am not sure you addressed the issue - THERE IS NO way to add an email to TASKS anymore in the new outlook. You can try to follow a drag and drop but it just has a bit old X moused up when you hover.
And the support desk uses a version of the Nav that i cannot replicated after 3x downloading new OUTLOOK.
So any other advice - because this was an issue (touted as a benefit) 2 years ago and it STILL does not work.
