Mail and Calendar for Windows 10 adds shortcut to Microsoft To-Do for Insiders

Windows Insiders are getting an early look at a minor, but handy feature coming to the Mail and Calendar apps for WIndows 10. As spotted by Italian blog WindowsBlogItalia, Microsoft has added a new To-Do button in the hamburger menu for Mail and Calendar, though it currently only seems to be available for Fast ring and Skip Ahead Insiders.

The button is a relatively minor addition, only acting as a shortcut to opening Microsoft To-Do if you have it installed. Still, if you're in a productive mood, it could prove to be a useful addition if you spot something in an email or calendar event and you need to quickly switch over to To-Do and add it to your tasks.

If you're on the Fast ring or enrolled to receive Skip Ahead builds, you should be able to see the new button with Mail and Calendar version 16005.11001.20041.0. Here's to hoping for closer integration between the apps going forward.
