Description
Very nice work for Outlook with emails :-)
Any ideas of how to get access to tasks (todos) from Outlook?
As I understand the same data that is stored as tasks in Outlook Exchange server can also be found in the new todo app, refer to [using-microsoft-to-do-with-outlook-tasks](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-microsoft-to-do-with-outlook-tasks-c7a0253d-b8cc-4054-b94b-c194e0e5308a)
First attempt is to access the data using Outlook API to get tasks - however as I read - this is deprecated,
[task-rest-operation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/office-365-api/api/version-2.0/task-rest-operations)
The way forward might be to use the new todo-concept, refer to [todo-concept-overview](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/todo-concept-overview) as the same data is stored at the exchange server and using the same credentials.
However, I cannot figure out how to use the API graph to access the todos.

No repository file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by reviewing the existing Outlook email integration and the linked Microsoft Graph To Do documentation, then determine how the project could access Outlook tasks with its existing credentials; done means retrieving and representing those tasks through the R SDK.
