Microsoft removed Outlook-to-To Do drag-and-drop on Mac, breaking key workflows
Microsoft deprecated the ability to drag emails from Outlook for Mac directly into Microsoft To Do, removing a core workflow that users depended on for task capture. This feature regression forces Mac users to manually recreate tasks, adding friction to a previously seamless integration. As a platform-controlled limitation, there is no viable third-party workaround.
