The Windows 10 Sticky Notes app doesn’t integrate with Outlook at all - instead, it integrates with Cortana reminders if you include a date or time when you type or scribble a note, the Add Reminder button appears and creates a Cortana reminder. If you want to see tasks from Microsoft Planner (the Trello-style Office 365 service in Outlook), you have to publish an iCal feed and then open it in Outlook - which puts them in the calendar rather than the tasks section. You can sync Project tasks with SharePoint and get them into Outlook that way, but a project manager has to set it up.

If you want to see tasks from Project, you need Project Server or a third-party add-on like Power2Plan to work with those tasks in Outlook. SharePoint Outlook integration is a little better go to the List tab on the ribbon on a SharePoint team site and click Connect to Outlook, and tasks from the site will show up in their own tasks section in Outlook. OneNote has a to-do tag that creates a checkbox you can tick off, but if you want a to-do to show up in Outlook, you have to choose Outlook Task instead and set the reminder (and that’s one of the features that hasn’t made it from OneNote 2016 to the OneNote Store app). The main Wunderlist feature missing from To-Do at this point is the ability to assign a task to someone else - so far, you can only share whole lists. But those tasks won’t sync into To-Do, and while you can import your Wunderlist tasks into To-Do (there’s a link to the web tool that does this in Settings), it’s a one-way sync and later changes won’t show up, so you need to pick one tool. If you use Wunderlist, you can see tasks you create there in Outlook by subscribing to the Wunderlist calendar feed (Outlook 2019 is smart enough to put those in the tasks view), and there’s a useful Wunderlist add-in for Outlook that makes it easy to turn an email into a Wunderlist task.

Only a few of the To-Do integrations are already working: syncing tasks with Outlook is furthest along, and that doesn’t support all the Outlook features (or all the To-Do features), so you may still need to bring tasks from other tools and services into Outlook as a first step. That also means it’s not (yet) available with your own Exchange Server. Unlike the popular to-do app Microsoft acquired in 2015 (which keeps all data on AWS in Ireland), To-Do uses Exchange Online to store and sync tasks - whether you use a Microsoft personal account or Office 365 (Business Essentials or any higher licence) - so it has the same data encryption, compliance and data residency as your Office 365 tenant. To-Do is designed for both business and home users, and it can be managed through Intune.

That ranges from the simplest connection - buttons in the Windows 10 Calendar app and the mobile versions of Outlook open the To-Do app and tasks show up in the Microsoft Launcher on Android - to some more sophisticated syncing options, including Outlook and Cortana.

The plan is to have To-Do be the place where you can see and work with tasks and to-do items from across all the Microsoft services and applications.

But even once you get tasks into Outlook, not all email clients sync them (including mobile Outlook), so you can’t easily use your Outlook tasks as a to-do list on your phone. Outlook has tasks (which are marked as your To-Do List in Outlook 2019) and you can sync tasks from other tools like SharePoint, Project, Planner and OneNote with varying amounts of difficulty. For years, Microsoft has had a plethora of task management tools, all of them separate.
