I was testing outlook/emails with  and found TDL way...way ahead than parallels when it come to email task creation.
1> Thinking (not sure if already planned) if TDL can enable sync both ways (tdl can write to outlook) , it will provide a way to access TDL tasks using cell phones (via out look web client)
2> Google task sync will be a bonanza.

Syncing is much trickier that Import/Export because of the need to match up tasks on each side of the process. And I've done some work on the infrastructure necessary to support syncing but that's still a little way off.

So the next step to support export to Outlook with the ability to update tasks that were previously imported from Outlook, and then we can review what's required for more seamless Syncing.

Frankly, it's easy for me to create complete integration with Outlook (Email, Task, Appointments, Journal, Contacts), Google Tasks/Calendar, Salesforce, Slack, and most other services and applications. This is what I do "in real life". I simply lack the time to do such things for free. If you have a business case for such integration, please let me know. I'd be eager to create a huge variety of solutions if only we could get enough end-users (business users) to pay a small fee per-user. I've been wanting to create a separate site with offerings like this, from myself and the community, but I just haven't had time.

I hope someone will pick it up and would make you able to run with it,  I also think that from profit making point of view a full featured mobile app  would be most viable , I am trying almost all available systems and TDL is at par with one disadvantage of not having a equally great companion in mobile space .

Please start a new thread about mobile apps to keep this thread on Outlook from going off-topic.

I'd love to spend all my time working on Office (Outlook, Excel, Word, and Project) integration with ToDoList. We just need to find business users to fund the effort.

Thanks.
