Email reminder and follow up in New Outlook missing

Hi.

I am currently using 'New Outlook'. Previously I was able to set a reminder/follow up on the email either before or after sending as a reminder to do so.

Sadly I cannot find it. Has it been omitted?

This was a very important tool, please reinstate this incredibly useful and productive feature.

    yet another folder! What an incredible waste of time and interruption to work flow.

    Actual pop-up reminders and setting custom dates and times is still a work in progress. For now however, you could create a "For Follow Up" Search folder to keep up with your flagged items.

    I could not find this as a requested feature in the Feedback Portal to vote on, so I created an entry for it:

    Return the ability to flag an email in the compose window · Community

    I do not know if the new Outlook product management look at this portal, but an upvote on that request can't hurt.
