This is a perfect use for the Notebook section of our website and iPhone app. You should be able to export from Outlook in a CSV file so you can import all of your existing reference material into Toodledo.

This is correct. Unless the folder is set in the CSV file, you will need to manually set the folders after importing.

You can open the CSV file in Excel and make a column for folder and then put in the folder names.

We have two types of dates. Due-date and start-date.

If your notebook is empty create at least one entry and then export to csv using the "CSV Notebook Export" > "Download CSV file" link. Then open the csv file and you will see the column names and formats: TITLE,FOLDER,ADDED,MODIFIED,NOTE

Also, notebook entries do not have due-dates.

JPR--- the headings including (added, modified) are there when I export, but they do not come up on pull-down list of headings when importing csv

Admin--- understand, no due dates

It is not possible to import the added/modified dates. These will be reset to the current date when the task is imported.
