Outlook Task List / Todo list is no where to be found in the NEW Outlook Desktop.

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.

    In the new outlook app right click on the circle before the email and go to: advanced Actions/Create Task

    Now it appears in the to do list

    This was so helpful thank you!

    Based on this comment, in the new outlook I opened "email accounts" under settings, then "manage" on whichever is the mail email account. There's a spot that says "Import settings from Outlook for Windows" with a "Get Started" button, that pulled in all my settings from the old outlook including the task view. Yay!
