Even if I search for a the title of a task I've recently found I still can't find them.Īfter some Googling I found this forum thread that suggests it may be a problem with the Outlook database, which points to a Microsoft KB. My problem is that my tasks don't appear in the Task folder, or anywhere else for that matter. I understand that the Task functionality in Outlook 2011 for Mac is heavily limited so I was very pleased to find this useful 'how-to' on making the most of Tasks. In my old workplaces I heavily used Outlook's Task functionality to manage my workload.

My current workplace uses Macs and my old workplaces used Windows.
