To-Do with outlook.com and Outlook for Mac app, I do not have the capability!

I use Outlook for Mac with my Outlook.com account, but I don't see the To-Do button in the left sidebar. However, my work Office 365 Outlook account does, so I know the App supports this capability. Also, when I open Outlook WebApp on outlook.live.com, I can use the To-Do capability.

How can I add the capability to my local Outlook.com email account?

Thanks,

Jamie

    I have installed the standalone Microsoft To-Do app for macOS on my laptop, but I cannot configure my account information as expected. When I select Settings... or Account... under To Do in the top bar, no window opens. I tried troubleshooting with CoPilot, but it didn't help. CoPilot advised me to delete the database file and reinstall it. I did, but when I reinstalled it, it didn't recreate the database file.

    Can you help me with that?
