To manage your flagged email directly in Microsoft To Do, sign in with the same work, school, or personal Microsoft account that you use for email.
Note
This feature is only available if you're using an account that's hosted by Microsoft, such as an Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, or Live.com account. It's also available if you're using an account hosted by Microsoft but using a custom domain.
For new users with a supported Outlook mailbox, Flagged email is automatically enabled when they access Microsoft To Do. To view your flagged email tasks, select Flagged email from the list menu.
| You can turn Flagged email off or back on under Settings > Flagged email. |

When Flagged email is enabled, emails flagged in Outlook will appear as tasks in Microsoft To Do. The task's name will be the subject of the flagged message and will include a preview of the email's text in its detail view. To open the original email, select the option to Open in Outlook from the task's detail view.
Items in the flagged email list can be renamed, assigned due dates and reminders, added to My Day, and marked as important.
Note
When enabled, the flagged email list will initially populate with the 100 most recently flagged emails within the last 30 days. From then on, any newly flagged mail will also populate in the same list.
Only emails flagged from your primary mailbox will sync with Flagged email folder in To Do. Flagged emails from shared folders and shared mailboxes are not supported.
Flagged calendar events won't be converted to tasks in To Do and won't appear in the flagged email list.
