Would you like your tasks to show up right in your inbox? Nothing could be easier.
Showing tasks in the new Outlook
If you are using the new Outlook, do the following:
- In your inbox, click the calendar icon in the top right corner
- Select To Do
- You now see your tasks in the right-hand column
- If you want to see more detail, click the icon in the top right corner. The To Do app then opens in your browser
Showing tasks in the classic Outlook
If you are still using the classic Outlook, do the following:
- In the menu bar at the top, choose View
- Then choose Layout
- Then To Do Bar
- Finally, choose Tasks
Your tasks are now shown directly in your inbox, in the right-hand column.
Bonus tip: turn an email into a To Do task with one click
If an email cannot be answered straight away and needs a bit of time, capture it as a task in To Do with a single click and then archive the email.
All the details of the email are stored in the task in To Do. Whenever you need it, you can open the email again with one click.
