Tasks

Tasks is a simple to-do list that lives in your mailbox, so it is the same in the web app and on your phone. Add something you need to do, give it a due date and a priority, and tick it off when it's done. Messages you flag in Mail show up here too.

Open it with Tasks in the app rail, or press Ctrl+Shift+L.

Views

The list on the left shows your tasks in different ways:

View	Shows
My Day	Tasks you picked for today.
Important	Tasks with high priority.
Planned	Tasks with a due date.
Assigned to me	Tasks someone else assigned to you.
Flagged email	Messages you flagged in Mail.
Tasks	All your tasks.
Lists	Lists you created.

Tasks are grouped by when they're due: Overdue, Today, This Week, Later and No due date, with Completed tasks at the end. Grid shows them as a table with Title, Due Date and Importance columns instead; List goes back.

Add a task

1. Type the task in Add a task at the top (or press Alt+N to jump there).
2. Optionally pick a Due date and a Priority: Low, Normal or High.
3. Click Add.

A task added here goes into Tasks, not into the list or My Day you're looking at.

To add a task with more detail, use Calendar: click + New event, choose the Task tab, and click More options. There you can also set a due time, pick a Task list, add Notes, a reminder (Add reminder) and Add to My Day.

A task's details can't be changed after it is created yet. Delete it and add it again if you need to.

Complete or delete tasks

• Click the circle next to a task to mark it complete. Click it again to undo.
• Click × on a task, or tick several and click Delete, then confirm.
• Tick several tasks to Complete them or Add to My Day all at once.

Lists

Click + next to Lists, type a name and click Add. Lists can't be renamed or deleted in the web app yet.

Flagged email

Flag a message in Mail (More actions > Flag, or press Insert) and it appears under Flagged email with its subject, sender and date. Unflag it in Mail when you're done.
