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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
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.
New Outlook is pointless for organization or customization.
Cannot set reminders for when I need them.
Cannot customize external email servers from a local PC or server.
Cannot even avoid routing all my emails through Microsoft's Cloud.
Everyone who designed this version and all the management who implemented it should be fired.
New world order, you will own nothing and you will manage emails as we want you to and be happy! Signed B, Gates :)
I could not find this as a requested feature in the Feedback Portal to vote on, so I created an entry for it:
Return the ability to flag an email in the compose window · Community
I do not know if the new Outlook product management look at this portal, but an upvote on that request can't hurt.
thank you Richard, yes lets upvote the feature!!!! Return the ability to flag an email in the compose window · Community
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.
