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.

    Hi, there. Now it's 2025. Could I have the function back to new outlook?

    Same here - still having a hard time without this feature. When is this expected to be fully implemented?

    The other feature I really miss in the new outlook calendar is being able to color code appointments. That also disappeared with the new version. Is that being worked on as well?

    Hi BPS- I was able to categorize appointments. Please try this:
    Right click on an appointment, then select categorized, and then you can color code by categories.

    After selecting the category, which you can customize, I chose the "green category" for this sustainability meeting:

    I agree with all replies above, this is ridiculous.

    Hi Al,

    Thanks for the alternative, I do use categories already for categorizing stuff. The issue is that not having the ability to set reminders exposes those who use this feature, for losing track of an item that should be followed up on. This was a great feature that is now missing.
