Sync topics from MJ to different Task folders in Outlook

I have created several folders / lists in Outlook with the Tasks type. In Mindjet, I import them from Outlook without problems using the functionality of the requests (p.1). But as soon as I synchronize her / them back with Outlook, then all tasks fall into the default Outlook Tasks folder, and I need them to be synchronized into their folders from where they were imported.

Perhaps this can be done via tags in Mindjet, and then in Outlook need write some macro / script that will process the received data from Mindjet and put it into folders whose names will be specified in Mindjet via tags.

Who knows how can I solve them?

Thank you.

Yes - my experience has been similar. MindManager doesn't seem to store the task's Outlook folder location.

As you suggest, one solution would be to add a Category to the task, as MindManager recognises these, and then in Outlook write a macro to assign the task to a folder based on this tag. I'm not an expert on Outlook macros, but this should be possible, though you would have to work out how to avoid duplicating the original task in the Outlook folder.

If you want to go down this route have a look at some of the macros on this site which specialises in Outlook solutions: https://www.slipstick.com/ - for example, the following macro might provide some ideas: https://www.slipstick.com/developer/copy-task-to-another-folder/

Another option is not to use folders and simply sort the default folder by category, which is what I do.
