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.

    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

    Yikes! I'm at the mercy of what my work does. But, I'm certainly going to make them all aware that this feature is goen (well, we can no longer manually set the day/time to be reminded to follow-up. MS would rather control it!) Everyone I work with uses this feature.

    Just chiming in to enphasize how important this feature is. Sadly, I'll have to change email clients without it, which i sincerely hope to avoid doing.

    Ugh! And make the location of its use easier to find (like before)!

    Thank you!

    YES!

    I tool MUST have this feature in the work I do. I switch over to the new Outlook just because we (at work) will eventually have to switch. I work in Oncology Research. If I don't receive a response to an email, it is super important that I Follow-up with in a certain timefram . Kinda hard to track hundreds of emails I may need to Follow-up on without the Follow-up Reminder feature. I mentioned this "missing" feature to several of my colleagues and they were also agast!

    Please light a fire under the person developing this feature.

    Thank you!
