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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
New Outlook is pointless for organization or customization.
Cannot set reminders for when I need them.
Cannot customize external email servers from a local PC or server.
Cannot even avoid routing all my emails through Microsoft's Cloud.
Everyone who designed this version and all the management who implemented it should be fired.
When I right click the flag I get a menu that only allows me 4 dates to choose from which are Today, Tomorrow, This week or Next week. How do you choose a specific date for the follow up?
This is a horrible change.
why would outlook have LESSER features than before. This makes no sense.
So a useful function that had been working for years has been removed??? Why???
No, it hasn't been removed, it hasn't been implemented yet.
The New Outlook isn't based on the original code of Classic Outlook, it is a complete remake from the ground up. It's going to take quite a bit of time to get all the useful functions back in there but then with a modern code base.
If you rely on this feature, you can either use the workaround which I suggested or revert back to Classic Outlook; It will be supported for years to come.
