If you check it off in To Do, the flag in your OneNote should also turn into a check mark after a while (just tested it it took about 10-20 seconds). So long as you use your email account with To Do, the task should appear in To Do as well. So, if you create a task in OneNote while signed in with your email account, that will sync with the Exchange server. That account becomes the hub through which To Do, Outlook, and OneNote communicate. It doesn't seem to work perfectly, presumably because there are many steps in the sync process, but it's good enough for me.īasically, using an email account is functionally the same as using an Exchange server. In fact, I started using as my primary email largely because I wanted to do exactly what you are doing. I got it to work, but had to switch the email address I used for my Microsoft account to an account. Before you can use it, send a big thank you to u/tsqr and then enjoy getting your tasks get synced across all devices. Then set this as primary alias and use it to sign in to OneNote, Outlook and ToDo. Under 'Account aliases' click on 'Add email' and create an outlook address. Navigate to /profile/ and click on 'Manage how you sign in to Microsoft'.
What finally worked for me was to create an outlook address. Now if you use a gmail account like I did, the tasks get only stored locally, so To-Do doesn't see them. So it seems, that the tasks are hosted on an exchange server, where also the emails are hosted.
I'll try to summarize the solution and the steps to it, but maybe just read the thread for a better understanding. Thank you for any comment in advance.īig shout out to u/tsqr who wrote detailed responses for a week and kept trying to help me understand and managed to solve the problem. Everything I read says that it gets synced to ToDo, but outlook just wrote "(On this computer only)" next to my tasks and that was that.Now I have stumbled across Microsoft Flow, but have no idea how to set that up.Īny help would be greatly appreciated. So far I've tried to use the outlook task feature, had to set up outlook just for that. But it bothers me, that I can't set due dates on my tasks or receive notifications.Recently I learned about Microsoft ToDo and it seems really neat, if only I could figure out how to mark things in my notes as tasks, that get send there.I mean surely there has a way to make this two apps from the same company work together, right? I've been using OneNote to keep track of my tasks, using a simple list with check boxes.
