I hoped that it was due to its early release status. But, unfortunately, there is still no Scripts menu, and so still no way to convert emails to tasks. So, if you are using tasks in Outlook 2011 for Mac with the 1MTD or MYN systems, I would not upgrade to the latest Outlook. Perhaps later in the fall, when Microsoft releases the shrinkwrap versions of Office 2016 for Mac, this will be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>But given the other weaknesses of Outlook for Mac for processing tasks, it may be time to start using <a href=\"http:\/\/michaellinenberger.com\/ToodleDo.html\">Toodledo<\/a> for tasks (but still use Outlook for Mac for e-mail, calendar, and contacts).<\/p>\n<p>Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 21, 2015 [updated 9\/10\/2015] A few weeks ago Microsoft released an update to their latest Microsoft Outlook for Mac.
