MilkSync for outlook and flagged mail
poma says:
My MilkSync application doesn't sync e-mail messages flagged as tasks. I use flagged mail a lot to quickly add tasks and they appear as usual tasks in outlook's 'Tasks' tab. How can I make it to sync such tasks? Even if it will sync only headers it will be enough.

Oh that would be awesome!!! I mean, I do flagging all the time, if I can see it in RTM, that would be the best damn thing in the world!! +!11111111111111111111

Even though tagged mail appear when you go to Tasks, they really aren't tasks. They show when you look at Task section's (default) To-Do List. If you then click on the Tasks list (which is listed under To Do list), only the tasks will show, not the emails.
It is a bit of work but if you drag a mail message into tasks folder, a task will be created.

Just wanted to share what I posted in the other topic:
Thanks for everyone's feedback! :) We're going to look into this -- there's a bit of an issue because when messages are flagged, Outlook doesn't actually create tasks for them (they're still just emails with a special task flag). As there's no tasks for us to sync with, we'll have to investigate whether it's possible to sync with the flagged emails and create tasks in Remember The Milk from those.

Definitely vote for this as well. I heavily use flagged emails for task tracking and this would be huge in merging all my task tracking styles (and likely help convince multiple people at my company to switch).

I really do miss this feature! Outlook sync without the flagged mails is almost useless for me since I don't create tasks but just flag the mail with the according todo.

This would make me upgrade to pro immediately.
I used to be a pro user, but because of the lack of sync with outlook and this feature basically, stopped using it and reverted to outlook.
If you can make it sync flagged emails, you have another customer.
Keep up the good work.

Have to add my voice to people calling for this. It would pretty much make RTM indispensable.

I'd really love this feature too. Its equivalent in GMail is, IMHO, one of the best features of RTM
coryan says:
I like the idea, but it would be great if the feature was an option you could turn on or off. This way those of use who use flagged emails differently would not have to have them added as tasks automatically.

I actually thought this was a normal feature... I was wondering why it wasnt working... and now I see why. I use this for work and was looking to get flagged emails to sync to my task manager

Any updates on this? This would be huge!
