When I used Outlook tasks and mark a task as "Completed", it disappears from the list. When I use the Tasks view "Completed", this is empty even though I have marked numerous tasks as complete. I also cannot mark tasks with a due date (right-clicking only has options "Mark Complete" or "Clear Flag".

I think this is because we are using Gmail for business as our mail server, and Outlook is using the reduced functionality of Gmail which only has "Starred/Unstarred."

Is it possible to use the full Outlook tasks capabilities with Gmail as mail server? (I have enabled IMAP in Gmail settings)

Disappear from To-Do list or task folder?

If you've set a filter, completed tasks may be filtered. Please click View > View Settings. Turn off Filter. enter image description here

You can refer to this official article: Show all tasks marked complete

  • Thanks, yes the filter is off and when I follow the instructions in to view tasks masked as completed it shows an empty list (even though it should not.)

  • Can you search Task folder and find these tasks marked as completed?

  • My Tasks > To-Do List is full of unfinished tasks, when marked as complete they disappear and do not reappear in "Completed", My Tasks > Tasks is empty

  • If this is not a view setting issue, you may test this in a new profile. This will help check if it lies on personal settings or corrupted data file

According to this Microsoft Office article, it is not possible: Google IMAP supports Mail in Outlook but not Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes:
