Remember The Milk provides this functionality. I like to maintain and manage ALL of my To Do items in my web task app (RTM, testing GID) -- both work and personal tasks. However, RTM allows me to sync ONLY tasks from my WORK list to my Outlook Calendar. I use Outlook on my work computer, so I do not want my personal Tasks syncing to Outlook for privacy reasons. I like that RTM allows me to determine which tasks to sync with my work computer. Is there a way to select just certain Tasks or Smart Groups to Outlook?

If a task doesn't get completed on the day it's due, does it carry over to the next day or does it stay on the original due date? This would help if we utilize our calendar sync so the items with due dates never get older than today. One more request…

Because your link is http:// outlook will only recognize this as a snapshot calendar and not a subscription. Thus a bit pointless to have this in outlook if we have to continually click the link within getitdone to have it post properly to outlook. I am sure you guys can correct this on your end pretty easily. In order for you to have a subscription to a web calendar the calendar has to end in .ics and start with webcal://.

For example iCal will get updates from Get It Done every 5 minutes to see if there were any changes on the calendar. I'm not sure if Outlook does this. But I did find this online form Microsoft: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101673251033.aspx I think the "Add an Internet Calendar Subscription to Outlook" section is what we are looking for. (please excuse my ignorance, I am not an Outlook user) Hi Tim,
