Tasks on New Outlook not working. It redirect to opens the MS website.


I had to set back the (very) old Outlook UI to be able to set tasks and manage them in the same app.


Any idea/suggestion about how to manage tasks "inside" the Mac app?

1: Folks that use and that are much more familiar with Microsoft Office and related apps for macOS frequent the Microsoft forums. Not an Apple forum intended for MacBook Air hardware-related issues and questions. Asking this question over there is more likely to get you to the answer that you want.


2: Internet points are worthless. Much as can be asking a technical question of the wrong audience.

That is because 90% of people don’t bother marking the answers that most likely solved their problems as helpful. If everyone marked their reply’s as helpful if they actually were helpful, the promoted answers for the users with lots of point and everyone for that matter would be substantially higher.


And you, how dare you attack other users especially those on level 10 that “hopefully your answer is not just to collect points”! Those points account for years upon years of helping other people. Accusing MrHoffman of answering just to collect points. The nerve of you. He has nothing to gain at this point. He’s already on level 10. The very idea of lashing out at people that try to help you is beyond me. Especially, since the problem you have isn’t even related to Apple. Absurdity at its best!

I totally agree with your second point, first sentence. Lots of answers provide little value, and some community members with thousands of answers have less than 9% of replies marked as real answers to a question. If that's the average, I hope to continue getting answers here; maybe after reaching the average I really get a valid positive reply. Some people are too sensitive here. It would be great if we keep any forum with technical discussions.

Great, now you have 3,600 points.


What I'm looking for information and ideas about any kind of setup or trick of fix that any Mac user has applied, found, invented, in order to overcome this issue. We all know that this is a MS product and above all, it's MS the one responsible for making the product compatible with other environments. But that's not the question here. And posting replies to a question with no answer at all just makes posts long in replies, useless in real life. Well, at least you get one more point.

Already did and couldn't find any solution. Do you have a real solution for it, other than "check MS support", which I know I can do that? (hopefully your answer is not just to collect points).
