Ok, testing the new Outlook for a few months now and still trying to GTD in the new look and feel.

Almost there just one hickup I hope you all can help me out here.

I can easily creata a ToDo task from an email by selecting a phase and click on the check item:

User's image

Now for the inbox zero I Archive the e-mail.

The Todo Task appears at the right pane in my Outlook and I can open the mail by clicking on the email link:

User's image

Everything fine so far but when I open my ToDo app, from my new Outlook or the Windows app, the task appears but the link to the email is not working anymore.

When I don't archive the mail I can open it but after archiving the link is lost - not in the right pane Tasks in Outlook but in ToDo.

When first archiving and then make a task everything works but that is not the way we want to work effectively.

What goes wrong here and why does it work in the Outlook app and not in Todo.... better question: How can I get it to work in Todo as it works in Outlook.
