Sharepoint Tasks not appearing in To-Do Bar

[Jeremy Sullivan]

I had an Exchange account hosted at with MailStreet.com and an Sharepoint
intranet site on a local dev box here at my office. I had connected the
Sharepoint Task list to Outlook 2007, and the uncompleted SharePoint tasks
used to show up in the To-Do Bar (on the right side of Outlook 2007).

I just switched Exchange hosts to Intermedia.net, and now the SharePoint
Tasks do not show up in the To-Do Bar at all. Yes, I have reconnected the
SharePoint Tasks to Outlook 2007 again. If I go to the SharePoint Tasks
folder in Outlook 2007, they show up, but I liked it when the showed up in
the To-Do Bar so that I had a way to tell if I had new Tasks assigned to me.

I have played around with changing different options in my Exchange account,
Outlook, and even my Active Directory account on the dev server. Does anyone
have any suggestions to try?

TIA,
Jeremy

Hello Diane,

Thank you for your response. I checked to make sure that there were no
Filters applied to the To-Do Task List. I looked through the property of the
SharePoint Task folder, but I couldn't find any options that would tell me if
it were setup for searching. Can you tell me where that option is?

Again, thank you so much,
Jeremy Sullivan

I had this same issue and I figured it out. Basically, none of my
Sharepoint Tasks would show up in my Outlook to-do bar. I found
that I had to close the "SharePoint Lists" folder in the Outlook
folder list. It gave me a message about removing all of my
Sharepoint connections and that was fine. After I removed the
SharePoint List folder, I just went back to SharePoint and used the
"Connect with Outlook" option again. This time Outlook created a new
SharePoint List folder and everything started working again. Very
strange and I don't understand why that happened, but it did solve it
for me.
