      Simple Outlook tasks is great.

      Outlook and "Simple" never go together.

      You're disdain for bad products is showing again.

      FTFY

      If Outlook was simple and reliable, I'd be just fine with it.

      I'm quite happy with Outlook TASKS. I've tried a ton of other things and they are all WAY over complicated full-blown project management crap. Not what I want. Your view of Outlook Tasks is subjective.

      It's fully copy/paste anything and everything into it and out of it, trackable, usable on any device with OWA, and there's a ton of features you can use that aren't shoved down your throat. It's simple and effective for daily/weekly/monthly task and simple project management tracking for yourself, and also some simple sharing and collaboration features if needed.

        I'm old school... I use sticky notes.... They're everywhere! It doesn't work, but it's what I use.

          Tasks is fine, it's all of the support needed to make it work. If they separated it out and it was its own, simple thing. Sure.

            If you can use it with OWA, is it really Outlook Tasks? Now it is just Exchange Tasks, which I'm fine with if you don't have to install Outlook.

            OWA / Exchange's task list is simple and easy.

            See, Outlook is so complex, even conveying the tool you want to use isn't simple.

              Wunderlist is nice for just a simple task list. Google tasks isn't bad either.

                NextCloud has tasks, too. Very simple.

                  Yes, the URL says outlook.office365.com, and a button at the bottom says "Tasks"...

                  https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/tasks

                  Also, the "O" in "OWA"... do you know what that stands for?

                      I'm not sure what you're on about now? Exchange OWA is basically Outlook, only completely hosted. Very few things that Outlook can do that OWA can't (add-ons is a huge one, but I know of a few other smaller features (tasks related actually) that I do miss from OWA).

                          All besides the point, though.

                            It stands for it, but it's not Outlook. It's part of Exchange, not part of Outlook.

                            You said many years ago that locally installed Office is just a web app running locally... how does that make Outlook local any different from Outlook from Exchange? (sadly I do know the code base is different - see last post).

                                        Wunderlist is nice for just a simple task list.

                                        I'm using Wunderlist until it completely dies. (MS todo sucks)
