A task is an item that you create that you want to track until it's completed. Tasks can be created from an email that you've flagged for follow-up as an actionable item, or they can be to-do list entries that you add manually. Use tasks in Outlook on the web to create, edit, categorize, and manage tasks.

The instructions are slightly different depending on whether you're using the new To Do in Outlook on the web or the classic Tasks. Choose the version you're using to see the instructions that apply to you.

Instructions for To Do in Outlook on the web
Microsoft To Do is now integrated with Outlook on the web. To Do is taking the place of Tasks and includes smart lists. Smart lists are filtered lists that make it easier to track tasks and organize your day. With To Do integration, you can quickly organize your tasks by adding them to My Day, marking them as important, or adding them to new lists that you create. There's even a list for tasks that you've assigned a date to. To get started, Sign in to Outlook on the web.
The To Do tool is a bit different from the classic Tasks in Outlook.comOutlook on the web. Some features are different, and others will be added as To Do is rolled out.
Note: Shared mailboxes aren't supported in To Do, but you can share lists.
To view and manage your tasks, select 
ToDo at the bottom of the navigation pane.
The To Do page includes four default tasks lists, plus optional tasks lists and any tasks lists that you create.
-
My Day is a Smart List that can help you track the tasks that you want to get done today. It's empty at the start of each day by default, so that you can organize your day by adding tasks to it. You add existing tasks to My Day by right-clicking a task and choosing Add to My Day, or by dragging a task from any other tasks list to My Day. Tasks that appear in My Day are kept in their original list.
Note: My Day is cleared at midnight every night. Tasks that appear in My Day are stored in other tasks lists, so they aren't deleted when My Day is cleared.
-
Suggestions are tasks that aren't completed that you might want to add to My Day. To see suggested tasks, go to My Day, then select
Suggestions at the top of the page. Select the plus sign (+) next to a task to add it to My Day. Select Done to close Suggestions and return to My Day. Suggestions includes tasks that are due today or in the future, are overdue, were previously moved to My Day but not completed, or that might be relevant to start working on.

Important is a Smart List that includes tasks that you've marked as important. You can mark a task as important by right-clicking it and selecting Mark as important, or by selecting the star icon next to it.
-
Planned is a Smart List that includes tasks that have a reminder or due date and have not been marked as complete.
