Ability to add email as Planner Task
Many time - new action items come in from clients and consultants as emails. It would be great if from the web app I could convert an email to a planner task - carry the body of the email as a note - and automatiacally add any attachments as documents attached to the task.
Look at Todoist for inspiration.

There is a Wrike Outlook add in that turns an e-mail into a task - if a third party application can do this, why oh why can't Microsoft do it within it's own family off applications (i.e., Outlook to Planner)? I'm sure Microsoft will get there...but this seems to be low hanging fruit that should be fast-tracked.

It would be helpful if a task could be send directly to Planner without going through all of the steps to get into that planner. either something with a short cut button or that ability to have an email sent to it that adjusts itself to a planner items.
Also, it would be ideal if Planner and Todo worked to gather in one view so you could see all of your tasks to do in one place

I would imagine forwarding an email to a "To Do" bucket should be a primary function of an action tracking application.

That would actually be a very beneficial improvement. But even better would be, if not only a new task could be generated from an email, but also an email could be attached to an existing task.

Just make it so we can send email to Planner, either to an "Inbox" on Planner (my preference) or to individual plans.
Once in the Inbox the task could be triaged into the appropriate plan.

This is currently the main issue as to why we won't use planner. It has to be able to drag and drop emails to create a task

This is a must have for planner to become a meaningful tool - all other planners have something like this. A button in Outlook would be great, but an email adress (e.g. Nozbe) - would be OK.

Would be great to be able to right click an e-mail and add planner task
