I’ve the same problem as Matt: This problem occurs in both my to-do bar & my favorite folders – I am sick of rearranging my fav folder everytime I go on outlook.

Thank you in advance!

Nice tip – but any ideas on sorting flagged emails that appear in the To Do List? I sort by Subject, but it seems that Outlook uses the email subject to sort by rather than the Task subject.

This is a problem because I’ve put useful information (eg company name of the person I had emailled) in the TASK subject which I couldnt include in the email subject. And I wanted to sort based on this info.

Thanks
Luke

My to-do bar resets each time I close and reopen outlook. The icons dissappear and I have to do it over again. Any insight as to what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks so much ffor the help btw.

I tend to drag emails from my inbox and place them in the to-do bar (and then file the email to a folder). Sometimes the subject line in the email needs to be changed to make it more meaningful when it sits in the to-do list. I found that you can change the subject of followup item and keep the email subject the same. Just click on the to-do item once and change at will. Pretty cool.
