Docs / Obsidian Mail Client / Calendar, People & To Do

To Do

Press Ctrl+4, or click To Do on the rail, to see your tasks.

Lists

The left side has:

Planned: unfinished tasks that are due today or overdue, from all your lists.
Flagged email: the messages you flagged in Mail. Ticking one off clears its flag.
On this computer: task lists kept on this PC. They work with any kind of account.
Microsoft To Do for an Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 account: click Connect To Do and allow access once in your browser (the same step also connects your contacts). Your lists then sync with Microsoft To Do, both ways.
Server tasks for an Exchange or Obsidian account: they come with the account, nothing to connect.

+ New list makes a list. Right-click a list to Rename list or Delete list.

Type in + Add a task at the top of a list and press Enter. Ctrl+N (or Home > New Task) starts a new task too.

Click a task to see its details on the right:

★ Important marks it important.
Completed ticks it off. You can also tick its box in the list.
Steps: type in + Next step and press Enter to break a task into steps. Server tasks of an Exchange or Obsidian account have no steps: Exchange ActiveSync can't store them.
Due: a due date. Clear removes it.
Remind me: a date and time to be reminded. Clear removes it.
Notes.
Delete task.

Changes are saved as you make them. Click Close to put the details away.
