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.

    why would outlook have LESSER features than before. This makes no sense.

    I am also a big fan of the checkbox showing in my inbox to know that I have taken care of a email.

    Fortunately, I am also a big fan of Microsoft To Do!

    Any message that is flagged will show up in the Microsoft ToDo pane (or in the separate app). If I check the item as being done in Microsoft ToDo, it adds the check box to the message in my Inbox.

    It's not as easy as browsing my in-box, but I am now spending more time in ToDo. Hope this helps others.

    Hi,

    This method worked really well until I got to the point where I am not being notified/alerted at the scheduled time/date.

    I am wondering how the alert should appear on my screen, if you are able to help any further please?

    Many thanks

    Peter

    Unfortunately, I can't. When I click on the flag, all I get is

    Today

    Tomorrow

    This Week

    Next Week

    No Date.

    It's as useful as a leaky teapot! I just want to set a reminder so that I can work efficiently and not waste bloody hours looking for answers. Constantly having to switch version is such a faff when I have to set lots of reminders.
