Hi Axel, Thank you for your comment. You can see when there is a due date set on a task by the red dot on the bell icon. When you hover it, you see the due date that you've set. From a task, you can easily jump back to the email or contact you created it from - by clicking the corresponding icons. How would it benefit you if we would change this behaviour?
Noortje: thanks for you reply: Hovering over the icon is an unnecessary interaction, with takes 2-3 seconds to appear. Same goes for "easily jump" to the corresponging email: I have to perfom two clicks (on the email icon and back again). My suggested change would eliminate the need to perform any action. In the fraction of a second I can look at the list and see at a glance when the next tasks are due, and who the contacts are. Seems like an obvious benefit to me.
Axel: Thank you for the clarification!
I agree; even the company name (shorter than full contact name) would help a lot to quickly select tasks. I dont want to open the email first when I dont want to work on the task. I have solved it now manually by putting the name or Company in front of the task description..
