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.

    Has anyone from MS be on here to enlighten us why the feature is no longer there? Or if it is there, how we find it? It's a blooody nuisance, that's what it is!

    Thank you for the suggestion! Much appreciated - however, a "workaround" should be necessary for something so vital that so many people use on a daily basis! Microsoft just need to put the old version of email follow-ups into the new version of Outlook. the old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it! totally applies here!!!

    I am also a big fan of the checkbox showing in my inbox to know that I have taken care of a email.

    Fortunately, I am also a big fan of Microsoft To Do!

    Any message that is flagged will show up in the Microsoft ToDo pane (or in the separate app). If I check the item as being done in Microsoft ToDo, it adds the check box to the message in my Inbox.

    It's not as easy as browsing my in-box, but I am now spending more time in ToDo. Hope this helps others.

    Suddenly found the feature is available in the New Outlook.

    Now I can set the reminder for any email I received with a time and date. Cool!

    Right click an email -> Flag -> Choose a date
