It there a sub forum for using Outlook and M365 365 tools with GTD ?

GTD is not focused on particular tools, so no. Threads sometimes start out about one tool but discussion can be widely ranging. Feel free to ask for information and opinions.
 
I have to say that the Outlook Setup guide was awesome and I am able to use Outlook and OneNote as a pretty comprehensive system with Tasktask connected to my Outlook Tasks for use on the go as it keeps categories/contexts unlike ToDo or the iPhone Reminders app.
 
I am also an Outlook 365 user, but in the GTD official setup guides, they only go up to "Outlook 2019". I also wish to sync my Outlook 365 desktop with my Android phone, and of course, keeping as much of the GTD format in tact. For the past 10+ years I have followed two companies that have led in this space of GTD synchronization between desktop and device: CompanionLink - https://www.companionlink.com/ and Pocket Informant - https://pocketinformant.com/ With the Outook 2019 GTD setup guide, they assume that you are wanting to use Microsoft Todo for your tasks, but I just don't see why I can't use my native Outlook tasks? Why would I want to complicate things by adding in an extra tool if I don't have to? Because of this, the GTD outlook 2019 setup guide has you create task sub-folders, instead of using categories, because apparently categories do not sync in MS Todo. Any suggestions much appreciated.
 
Try this app for android Tasks & Notes. It is perfect and much better that native ms todo from ms. I use it for almost 3 years without any problems. It has so many options and widgets. It is very convenient for GTD. You can sync it with 365 or exchange. They have very good support.

I rely on the Outlook set-up using categories religiously. I use Outlook tasks but on my mobile devices I use TaskTask which does well syncing with categories.
