For example,

00:00:08

if you receive an email from a colleague requesting

00:00:11

you to prepare a report for an upcoming meeting,

00:00:14

you can transform that email into a task to ensure you remember it.

00:00:19

There are two approaches to accomplish this.

00:00:22

The initial approach involves treating flagged emails

00:00:25

as tasks to start select the email,

00:00:28

you wish to convert into a task hover over this email

00:00:31

and right click on the flag icon that appears beside it.

00:00:35

You can then choose a time frame for managing the email by either selecting an

00:00:39

option from the given list or setting a specific date and time in the custom section

00:00:45

to access flagged emails as tasks,

00:00:47

click on the my day icon at the top right corner of your screen.

00:00:51

Next click on to do and select show flagged messages.

00:00:56

If you choose today as the deadline,

00:00:58

the task will automatically be flagged as important and

00:01:01

will appear on your list of tasks for today.

00:01:03

By default, outlook uses the email subject as the task name,

00:01:08

but you can change it by clicking on it

00:01:11

to view the email content. Click on email address below the task.

00:01:16

Once you finish the report,

00:01:17

you can mark the task as complete by either checking its box or right,

00:01:22

clicking the flag icon and selecting mark as complete

00:01:26

to see completed tasks. Click on show recently completed tasks in the to do section.

00:01:33

The second method involves opening my day selecting the email,

00:01:37

you wish to convert into a task,

00:01:39

dragging it into the my day window and dropping it into a as tasks.

00:01:44

You can then manage your tasks by following the previous steps.

00:01:49

For a comprehensive overview of task management.
