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.
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.
what happened to jennifer? She was giving me good laugh as she continually misunderstood your issue and kept reposting useless links. Nice that's she ahs volunteered to help others, just may not be the right person for the job. People are already frustrated by the app, and to have it thrown in your face again in a support forum is not helpful
Wow, what a shame. I was planning to use Microsoft apps as the bridge between my apple devices, my PC, and my Gmail account (which is what I use for email). Seeing all the learnings you have shared, knowing that ToDo (which is a very important feature set for me) will be exclusive to outlook.com emails, I will now uninstall all my Microsoft apps from all my devices (wherever possible), and will just rely on Google apps that get me pretty close to what I need. Too bad, because Microsoft was doing a good job.
This probably means Microsoft will lose me for documents, spreadsheets, etc. as well.
Bye Microsoft - you have really disappointed me.
As previously stated, Microsoft is not interested in supporting Gmail email addresses and they would rather you migrate to their own outlook domains.
This is the reason why they will probably never fix this issue and everybody using outlook that has a Gmail account will be forced back over to Thunderbird.
Microsoft**** Feel free to chime in on this 😉
Hi,
thank you very much for your reply and thank you for your patience.
On the left side, you'll see the navigation bar, which makes it very easy for you to switch to Calendar, contacts, or any other app you use all the time. In other to gain quick access to your tasks without leaving the inbox, use my day by selecting the icon in the upper right.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Jane.
