Hi, Thomas. I'm not sure if this will help you or not. I have a fairly similar process but I don't use outlook sync. While reviewing my emails I set the followup flag on each item that requires a task. When I'm done I click the flag in my inbox header to get a view grouped by flag setting. Then I select all flagged emails and drag them to an MLO window displaying the inbox, where I drop them. Then I flip back to Outlook and hit "delete."
The task created in MLO has the email subject as its title and the email body as the note. At the top of the note there's a link that you can click to bring up a view of the original email message (as long as you have not emptied MLO's trash. There are no subsequent syncs of any kind so the new tasks stay put until you are done with them. -Dwight -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Backhaus Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 11:37 AM To: MyLifeOrganized Subject: [MLO] Re: One-way sync of Outlook tasks to MLO Nope, haven't touched the "conflict resolution" settings - or any other settings, for that matter...
