On the new version of Outlook, the only snooze options for calendar reminders are 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours. The problem is when the calendar reminder is set to hit a day before the appointment, none of those intervals are enough to get it out of your face for the rest of the day. Is there a way to bring back the 12 hour snooze, and the 5 minutes before snooze, at the least?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I agree the maximum snooze time for a reminder being 2 hours is not enough. In the Old Outlook you could snooze for days and weeks, which I found very useful for certain repeat reminders.
To make sure I'm understanding, there is no longer functionality in Outlook to flag emails for follow-up and there are no more reminders for calendar invitations?
If so, can this please be added to the roadmap for re-implementation?
These functionalities are valuable across our organization, given volume of client requests made in email vs. other platforms.
No, that is not what I am saying. I set Tasks as reminders that sometimes I dismiss right away as it was just a quick reminder, and sometimes I snooze them to come back to at a later date or to just keep as an ongoing reminder. In the old Outlook, the standard snooze options are 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 0.5 days, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 1 week or 2 weeks. The old Outlook also allows you to enter custom snooze time, so you could reset a Task for 8 weeks, or 30 weeks, or however you long you would prefer. The new outlook only allows you to snooze 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. The new version does not allow a user to enter a custom snooze time either.
Sorry, Grant. My comment was a question for Microsoft (not you :-). Seems we are having similar challenges with new Outlook.
It appears the 5 before, 10 before type things have been added, but it still only goes up to 2 hours after. I'd also love to snooze something until the following day. Now Id' have to snooze every 2 hours until I'm done for the day and then see it in the morning.
