Hi, I would say, no easy way. I would recommend to copy to MLO only the most important emails to answer (by dragging), and to put here also other types of tasks stemming from emails, but to continue with your system of flagging all other emails to answer only in Outlook. You will have two systems for to-dos - one for everything else +important emails, the second for other emails to answer (you can batch this latter activity by actually having "email time" as to-do in MLO). The most important law of time-management (after having studied myrriads of PIM systems) I would recommend for all perfectionists as I am is: tolerate two or more or otherwise imperfect and not connected systems of PIMs and actually DO things, which is much much more efficient than to spend/lose your time by creating one (impossible) centralized perfect system. You will never be fully satisfied and you will lose your time which you can use by DOING important tasks.
