New Outlook Missing the Microsoft To Do app

Dan McFarland 35

I have a Microsoft 365 Family plan and my "New Outlook" is missing the "Microsoft To Do" app. It wasn't on the sidebar nor was it in my "More Apps". So, where can I go to access it and import it into my New Outlook so I can install it on its left-hand sidebar?

I have the same frustating problem. All help assumes the Microsoft To Do icon appears on the left margin, but it doesnt and I only have Microsoft OneNote. I cant see the Microsoft ToDo and my tasks dissapeared from Outllook.

Hi,

Nice to meet you! My name is Randy and I'm an independent advisor.

In the New Outlook, Microsoft To Do isn’t built into the sidebar like in the old version, so you won’t see it under "More Apps." Instead, you can open To Do directly at todo.microsoft.com or install the app from the Microsoft Store and it will sync with your Outlook account. Flagged emails in New Outlook still show up automatically in To Do, so you don’t lose that link, but if you want quick access you’ll need to pin To Do separately to your taskbar or start menu.

Kind regards,

Hi Randy, thank you so much for your answer on compatibility of the two. However, the second part of the question I was looking for an answer to was: Where do I go to find the "MS To Do" app and icon and how do I get it back to my New Outlook and install it on the sidebar? Hopefully, you can help me with that as well. Appreciate it.

I see what you are saying now. If I had an exchange account I'd be OK but with the Family Plan I can only pin it to the task bar or the start menu. Thanks!

That's what I am trying to find out, but I'm beginning to suspect that if you have a Microsoft Exchange account, rather rather than Family (you) and Personal (me), it will synchronise or integrate the Microsoft To Do app with the new Outlook, but not for us.

Such a pain - but I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong - and shown how to do it!

Answer 1

I did not really get the answer I was looking for. I have looked at some video tutorials online on how to use TODO with the new outlook and they show the TODO app on the Outlook task bar on the left. There appears to be integration with TODO and emails and calendar but the TODO app that I have on my Microsoft 365 doesn't integrate with my emails and my TODO items do not show up in MyDay. How can I get my TODO app to integrate with my Outlook emails and Calendar?

I have the same problem with Outlook für Mac. Microsoft To Do is visible in the online version and functions properly but not in the latest outlook desktop version for Mac.
