Outlook (2010) Tasks

[odoe]

So I've been using Tasks in Outlook at work to help me keep track of projects I get via email or just add a task as it comes along.

For tasks that I add myself, I can add notes (mainly how much time I spent on a task), but for emails I add as tasks, I can't find a way to add any notes. Is there a mechanism in Outlook that lets me do this? I am by no means an Outlook guru, so I'm figuring if there's a way, someone here would know.

Thanks.

I don't think you can. When you create a task, it's a task item (IPM.Task) designed specifically for that purpose, but when flagging an email for follow up it's still an email item (IPM.Note incidentally). There's no way to convert between the two.

Bummer.
Thanks though, at least that helps me figure out how to keep track of stuff a little better.
