In Microsoft To-Do, I can assign tasks to a different predefined folders/lists like

  • "My Day"
  • "Important"
  • "Planned"
  • "Assigned to Me"
  • "Flagged EMails"

How can I display those folders the same way in Microsoft Outlook for Windows?

HINT: How to view MS To-Do's "My Day" tasks in MS Outlook for Windows did explain how to do this for "My Day", but how does this work for all other mentioned folders?

The Outlook 'To-Do List' is a built in list that contains all tasks (from all folders in the mailbox) and flagged emails.

If you create an Outlook Tasks view using the DASL-Filter string linked in the OP you can use it to filter the 'To-Do List' and see only see the 'My Day' tasks from all your To-Do lists.

The DASL-Filter string does not show the 'My Day' flagged emails though - looking for a property to filter those by...

The To-Do 'Important' flag (⭐) translates to the 'Important' flag in Outlook (❗)

'Planned' To-Do tasks will have a due date in Outlook.

You seem to be expecting functionality similar to "Search Folders" in Outlook e-mails, but in To-Do items. It is not currently there. But you can achieve at least partial results in two ways:

  1. Create your own views of tasks (use first two items of menu View) which use filtering for given criteria. Anything except of "My Day" list should be doable. And "Flagged EMails" you can achieve by adding a Search Folder in e-mail section of Outlook.

    • Limitation: This will display only tasks in current folder (list).

  2. Enter Search field (shortcut Ctrl+E) and from newly appearing Search menu achieve filtering you need. This will search across all task folders (lists), if you choose to. Similarly, any common filter except of "My Day" should be achievable.

    • Limitation: This search cannot be saved. However, it can be preserved in Advanced Find window if you open it from the Search menu.
