How To Create a Task in Microsoft Outlook?

A Task is an item, that we create when we want to track it until it is completed. We can create, edit, and manage Tasks. Some people keep a list of things that need to be done on a piece of paper or using any other electronic methods. In Microsoft Outlook we can combine our various lists into one list, plus we can also improve them by adding reminders and tracking.
