Adding flagged emails to your tasks is really powerful. At first I did not like it and switched that feature off in settings. But I found it very inefficient to try and manually add the tasks in especially when I needed information in a specific email in order to do the task. So now I keep the feature on and I love that you can create subtasks within the flagged email task. Often the first step for me is simply "read this in detail" as I'll often get wall of text emails that take 10-15 minutes to fully read and understand.

Video idea (or point me to the video if you have one already): Discuss Microsoft Planner vs Microsoft To Do: similarities, differences, when you might use one versus the other? Also do Planner and To Do sync with the Outlook Calendar (i.e., do they automatically place to do items on your calendar? (that would be super handy for me!!!) Thank you so much for your tutorials! they are an awesome way to get to know all the things available thru Microsoft Office! Who KNEW???!!! Thank you!

Microsoft has really stepped up their game during Satya Nadella's time as CEO (from 2014-). The tools are becoming more powerful, connected and simple at the same time, and this has created A LOT of added value for me recently. Another amazing thing is this KZfaq channel; an easy, fresh and friendly way to learn about Microsoft's tools. Thanks Kevin for that! Microsoft is also doing very cool stuff on their hardware and software, instead of progressing in tiny increments like before. Very compelling stuff, creating value for the consumer first and to the shareholders second.

Great tutorial! I switched to To Do, from Wiunderlist. Everything is great, except... one very important feature that is missing is to showing the overdue in the doc on my Mac like the reminders. I suggested this feature numerous times. No change. Therefore I am using reminders, Mac, because I am never late. It shows how many are overdue. Even though there are reminders in To Do, I can still miss the payment, if I miss the reminder, which is very easy To Do, :o). If you can suggest this feature to your colleges at Microsoft, our community would appreciate it.

Seems like there are too many Microsoft apps for tasks and none seem to cleanly integrate into the Outlook calendar from what I've seen.

Thank you so much for this videos as I learned a couple of new things. I was originally a Wunderbar user. One of the features I loved was that starred items would be listed under their respective tasks. Now it’s the reverse and not as helpful. I use it for grocery shopping on my phone and would organize things by store. It was so easy to see which stores I needed to go to because there are some items that I stared. Now it’s a jumbled mess, I can alphabetize the entire starred list, but the task is listed underneath. Please, since you work at Microsoft, ask the developers to bring this feature back, or make it as a sorting option. To clarify what I’m saying here’s an example. Stop & Shop is the task, under that I starred dish detergent, hand soap, yoghurt. Whole Foods is the task, organic chicken, milk, spinach are starred. What comes back when you select Important is, dish detergent (Stop & Shop) hand soap (Stop & Shop), milk (Whole Foods) organic chicken (Whole Foods) spinach (Whole Foods) yoghurt (Stop & Shop). Hope this makes sense. Hope you can help to bring this feature back. Thanks!

And, in this video, I am seeing category and flag functionality for the first time;flag list is so cool! MS should integrate it better with Outlook and Teams. I see it on Outlook web but not on Mac OS. I read that MS is updating Outlook Mac app, hoping it will be good.
