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.

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.
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!
yep exactly what it is. 'Come come please use our new version (BTW we wont tell you its the finished full feature one as there's bits missing)' Not a helpful from MS
I wont be reverting to New Outlook until this is fixed or I'm forced to because the switch the old one off.
That's perfectly fine. New Outlook isn't feature complete yet and is in an optional preview status when you are a Classic Outlook user.
You can continue to use Classic Outlook until at least (!) 2029. Communications about the exact date will be made a year in advance or even earlier.
Then what's the blimming point in bringing out the New Outlook if it's not "feature complete"? Besides, this is nothing NEW! A new version is suppose to be "better". Hopefully, I will have retired by 2029 and not have to bother with this.
Blimming lol - I feel your pain and the real words you wanted to type

It simply hasn't been implemented yet 😉
New Outlook is a complete rewrite when compared with Classic Outlook. There are many of the main features still to be implemented and even hundreds of smaller ones. That's why it is going to take until at least 2029 before they will retire Classic Outlook.
One could almost say, the older the feature, the older the code, the longer it will take to rewrite/renew it, especially if there is no modern replacement on any of the other platforms (web, mobile, Mac) either. That's where priorities come into play, so make sure to use that Help-> Feedback-> Make a suggestion form 👍
Some of the major and bigger features that will be coming in the next few months are published on the Roadmap so you can keep track of them. Implementing Offline Mode (v1) was a huge milestone which took up lots of development resources the past few months. PST support (v1) is another one and is currently scheduled for March 2025.
