MS ToDo not finding/syncing Outlook Tasks?

I read that MS' ToDo automatically syncs with Win10 desktop Outlook Tasks presuming you have a 365 subscription. I do.

I downloaded the iPhone app yesterday and no sync.

Possibly, part of the reason is that somewhere in the settings the ToDo app shows that it's set to sync with 'Wunderlist'. I do not have this app/program on any device.

I cannot find a way to change the setting from 'W' to OL?

Further, although I have a 365 Outlook.com account, I do not use Outlook.com. I use Desktop Outlook and a third party, 'generic' Exchange, sync serving service--Kerio Connect

Is this the reason that ToDo is confused as to the source of my Tasks?

If so, then why isn't the desktop version of ToDo that I also downloaded recognizing my desktop Outlook and picking up my Tasks from it and then the desktop ToDo syncing with the iPhone app's ToDo?

I'm missing something...

Your link just opens the 365 download app/open web page for ToDo.

I have both and that's what the post refers to?

Here's what I really, really don't get and haven't for years. I've posted the question on MS Answers a few times and sent the question directly to the MS address for 'suggestions' all without response.

I've used MS' desktop Outlook Tasks module religiously since the program's introduction. I've read over the years that I'm not alone.

Then MS buys the 'Outlook' iPhone app, does some work on it and releases it...w/o adding Tasks. Why, with relatively unlimited $'s and talent, MS didn't simply rewrite their desktop Outlook program with all modules as an iPhone app is (to me) beyond baffling. Only to be out-baffled by not rewriting their Notes and Tasks modules for their purchased 'Outlook' app.

Then beyond baffling, MS buys a third party Tasks app (Wonderlist) and then dumps that in favor of (despite unlimited $'s and talent) their 'own barebones', independent Tasks app. Back in the DOS days it was normal for companies to release new programs not ready for primetime. Software companies were smaller with far less resources and needed to get a product to market for strategic reasons and then fill the program out. But that was then...

And now, of course it's accepted as 'some big thing' that MS will, sometime in the future, slowly 'integrate' this new, barebones Tasks app into 365.

If that's not enough, the integration of the ToDo tasks depends upon not your desktop 365 Outlook but Outlook.com. Although we've used 365 since its rollout, our primary email addresses are my domain name through a generic Exchange server (Kerio Connect) through our local ISP. And since any ToDo integration comes from Outlook.com we're SOOL.

So while I'm asking these utterly annoying questions... If 365 Outlook desktop automatically syncs with Outlook.com why in the h*ll didn't MS code the desktop Outlook Tasks to sync under the hood to and from their desktop ToDo so Outlook.com ends up with Tasks and can then sync to the iphone.

As a substitute, I currently and have used (paid) for years the excellent iPhone app Toodledo for Tasks and Notes along with the excellent syncing software gSyncit.

So, does anyone here understand the (not so clever) MS reasoning?
