Email reminder and follow up in New Outlook missing

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.

    I'm reminded of many Dilbert cartoons where they use their unwitting customers for QA and testing rather than releasing fully working software. Very understandable since Microsoft is such a small company with not many resources to put towards projects like this...

    I want to be able to flag for the recipients and add a reminder before I send it like I used to. I get that maybe that is still in development but if that is not the way it is being designed, please bring back this feature.

    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!
