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.

    An easy workaround for this is:

    1. add an asterisk at the end of the subject for any email that you are composing that you want to flag for follow up.
    2. Create a category such as "follow up" or "waiting"
    3. Create a rule that looks for any email with an asterisk in the subject and adds the selected category tag
    4. Add the category to your favorites in the Folder Pane and you can easily track outgoing emails.
