[dba-Tech] Outlook tasks question

How do you move from one account to another in Outlook? 

The complicated way to do this might be to have code behind form, some VBA
which would open a to do list tracker db in Access.  Fun for me but not for
many.

OTOH, might this be the idea for a product - add-in to Outlook?

Logically? I'd like the list to update when I move from one account to
another and show only those tasks that relate to that account. 

I don't use Outlook calendars at all, but it wouldn't hurt to have them. 

I doubt it can be done.

The only way I can think of is to create three calendars - I know Outlook
can do this because I had to automate separate calendars for an Access app
years ago. Will that get you close?  It could work for to-do lists because
they're usually tied to an action date or a deadline.

What is the source of the lists? Do the lists have to be logically connected
to the accounts?

I have three email accounts and they all import into three inbox accounts in
Outlook. I'd like to create multiple tasks list -- or to-do lits -- and
assign them to those accounts. Then, when I'm in that account, the to-do
list would show the tasks for that account. 

I've researched, but come up with nothing. 

Does anyone know if this can be done?
