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.

    Thanks, a temporary work around but a waste of time compared to Classic.

    I agree. I configured a new laptop yesterday and had no option but to install this monster. It's dreadful

    I agree. The old Outlook was a really useful, well proven bit of software. New Outlook is hideous. I would love to swap back

    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.
