Outlook Tasks on Windows 10 Mobile
How are Outlook tasks laid out in Windows 10 Mobil? Do tasks in Office 365 Business Premium sync with, and, appear on the phone?
Where are tasks located on the phone? I was in an AT&T store today looking at the Lumia 950; I found the calendar easily but not tasks or, even an agenda view for the calendar.
I have been looking to get back to Windows, having been using an Android device and, would have already but was waiting for the mobile 10 platform. I have had a phone 8.1 device so a comparison to tasks on that would be useful but a full description, with features, of Outlook Tasks on Windows Mobil 10 would be even better.
Your assistance is appreciated.

May I assume you never got an answer on this from Microsoft and, that they either left you out in the cold or, gave you the run-around?

It took a while, but they finally got back to me yesterday. They routed the question back to their product development team, who said that the current version of W10M does not support access to Outlook Tasks, but that the team realizes this is a high-demand request and are working on it. The person who I talked to suggested I go to the feedback app and request the feature in order to add my voice to the mix (I’ve already done that, but for all who are watching this thread and haven’t yet it’s a good idea).

I provided feedback on the missing «Tasks» functionality in Windows 10 mobile in the early days on the Insider programme and many others had already done the same before me. This was many months ago and there has never been any hint we would see this added. Given that the Outlook & Calendar apps on Windows 10 don’t support Tasks either the only option, if you’re using full blown Outlook on your PC, is to add a Tasks app to your phone that has the ability sync with exchange server. I use «Tasks» by In the Hand but 2Day looks suitable too. I’m personally not expecting MS to resolve this anytime soon and guess until (or if) they integrate Wanderlust in to Outlook we’re stuck with tasks only via 3rd party apps on our phones. Would be great if MS proved me wrong though!

I use «Tasks» by In the Hand but 2Day looks suitable too.
I tried Tasks, but it gets some of the due dates wrong. I have the same problem in 2Day, so it may be something in the way my tasks are configured. I have a bugfix request in with 2Day, so hopefully I can get this resolved.
I don’t have any issue with wrong dates with either «Tasks» or «2Day».
My biggest issue with 2Day is that the when editing the «notes» it removes any HTML formatting that I’ve done when editing the notes in Outlook Task on the desktop. That does not happen in «Tasks». My other issue with «2Day» is that it will not sync past completed tasks that I rely upon to look back on history. «Tasks» does sync my tasks going back over thousands of task!
My only complaint with «Tasks» is the lack of «percentage of completion» and lack of the ability to change the sort criteria. The sort function is limited to fixed functions. I continue to use «Tasks» daily.

Use Tasks in Outlook.com
A task is an item that you create that you want to track until it’s completed. Use To Do in Outlook.com to create, edit, and manage tasks.
Choose your version for instructions
The instructions are slightly different depending on whether you’re using To Do in Outlook.com or the classic Tasks. Choose the version you’re using to see the instructions that apply to you.
Note: The classic Tasks experience will be removed in the coming months.

Instructions for To Do in Outlook.com
Microsoft To Do is now integrated with Outlook.com. To Do is taking the place of Tasks and includes smart lists. Smart lists are filtered lists that make it easier to track tasks and organize your day. With To Do integration, you can quickly organize your tasks by adding them to My Day, marking them as important, or adding them to new lists that you create. There’s even a list for tasks that you’ve assigned a date to. To get started, Sign in to Outlook.com.
To Do is a bit different from the classic Tasks in Outlook.com. Some features are different, and others will be added as To Do is rolled out.
Note: You can also view and manage your tasks on the go by installing the To Do app.
To view and manage your tasks, select 
To Do at the bottom of the navigation pane.
The To Do page includes four default tasks lists, plus optional tasks lists and any tasks lists that you create.
My Day is a Smart List that can help you track the tasks that you want to get done today. It’s empty at the start of each day by default, so that you can organize your day by adding tasks to it. You add existing tasks to My Day by right-clicking a task and choosing Add to My Day, or by dragging a task from any other tasks list to My Day. Tasks that appear in My Day are kept in their original list.
Note: My Day is cleared at midnight every night. Tasks that appear in My Day are stored in other tasks lists, so they aren’t deleted when My Day is cleared.
Suggestions are tasks that aren’t completed that you might want to add to My Day. To see suggested tasks, go to My Day, then select 
Suggestions at the top of the page. Select the plus sign (+) next to a task to add it to My Day. Select Done to close Suggestions and return to My Day. Suggestions includes tasks that are due today or in the future, are overdue, were previously moved to My Day but not completed, or that might be relevant to start working on.
Important is a Smart List that includes tasks that you’ve marked as important. You can mark a task as important by right-clicking it and selecting Mark as important, or by selecting the star icon next to it.
Planned is a Smart List that includes tasks that have a reminder or due date and have not been marked as complete. Tasks that you create with a reminder or due date will automatically appear in this list. The only way to add tasks to this list is to assign a reminder or due date to an existing task.
Tasks is the list where new tasks are stored by default.
Flagged Email is an optional list. When on, messages that you’ve flagged in Mail are copied to the Flagged Email list as tasks. You can turn the Flagged Email list on or off by going to Tasks, then selecting 
Settings at the top of the page, going to Connections and using the slider to turn the Flagged Email list on or off.
Note: The Flagged Email list is available only on accounts that are hosted by Microsoft, such as accounts that end in Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, or Live.com. Also accounts from private domains that are hosted by Microsoft.
You can add new tasks by selecting a tasks list, then choosing the plus sign next to Add a task and entering a description of your task. If you add a task to a Smart List, the task will be saved in Tasks and linked to the Smart List you were in when you created it.
Note: You can’t create new tasks in Planned. To add a task to Planned, add a reminder or due date to an existing or new task.
Select a task in any list to see all of the available options for that task. You can do things like add additional steps, add them to My Day, make them repeating, add a due date or reminder, and add a note.
