Windows 10: Recommend me a to-do list app that can also display meetings from my Outlook calendar

Please. I love Microsoft's To-Do List for the UI, but not having meetings present makes it pretty useless.

Mail & Calendar App


By default, M&C app will install an outlook account according to your sign in. I sign into W10 with a non MS account "---@gmail.com" so my default account is listed like this, I can't seem to straighten it out/ delete/change it. Suggestions appreciated.

 

Make Outlook show calendar notifications in the Windows 10 notification bar

we can set the account up in Windows Mail app, turning off sync for mail and contacts.

Calendar reminders will use the Windows reminder system and display prominently in the corner of your screen, on top of any open programs.





Please refer to the steps below:

1. Add your Exchange account to Mail app. Win 10 will automatically configure this account on Calendar App too.
   
2. Open Start > Settings > System > Notification&Actions.
   
3. Turn on notifications for Outlook and Calendar but turn off the option for Mail.

Outlook Hotmail Connector: Which Calendar for Meeting Requests?

Outlook always puts meeting requests into the default Calendar. The trick is to make your Hotmail calendar the default Outlook calendar. This will destroy what's in the current default contacts and calendar stores, so you'll want to move them into newly
created Contacts and Calendar folders, or into your Live/Hotmail Contacts/Calendar folders first. I'm assuming your Outlook defaults are currently empty, and everything of importance is already in Live/Hotmail. (If not, I'll get to that in the last paragraph
of this post or so.)



In Outlook, to make your Live folders the defaults (this is just for your Contacts and Calendar- it won't change your current default "send-from" email account), go to the email account settings (In Outlook 2010 it's File > Info > Account Settings; in earlier
versions, it's Tools > Account Settings)

Then, in the accounts dialog box that pops up, click on the "Data Files" tab.

Find your Live/Hotmail account in the list of accounts, click on it to highlight it, and then click on "Set as Default" in the row of options just above the list of accounts.

You'll get a pop-up dialog warning you that this will change the calendar that appears in the to-do bar, etc. (These are good things, but in typical MS warning dialog style it looks like you're doing something horrific!) Select "Ok", and shut down and restart
Outlook. Now your Live/Hotmail Calendar will be the default, and will be the new repository for meeting requests, as well as making the ToDo bar actually work, and generally making Outlook less confusing.



I did a How-to FAQ for a friend's website on setting up syncing between Outlook and Windows Phones, which includes setting up the Live account as the default, as well as copying your existing Outlook data from the default folders to the Live folders. It
also has screenshots if the instructions above didn't make sense. The link is below- start at step 12 (the earlier steps are about setting up the Live account in Outlook initially and copying your existing Contacts and Calendar entries into it, so if you
still need to do that, look over the entire page.)
