NEW Outlook (2024) Snooze calendar reminders to "5 minutes before"

Honestly, and no offense intended, but this change is ridiculous. You can schedule an event to notify you days ahead, but then the longest you can snooze it is 2 hours? Microsoft needs to put the snooze feature back to having the same options it had previously.

I agree...bring this feature back! I understand the need to update, but this feature not being available is unacceptable. I get angry when massive changes are made and I have to stumble around getting used to everything, but when things I need disappear it is so frustrating. How many requests will it take before this simple tweak can be completed? Seriously!?

Thanks for the support. It was a useful function to allow timely reminders to re-occur when you are busy working on something else, especially if you're a bit forgetful like me, it was a godsend. The ability for it to keep popping up and annoying me for days/weeks/months in some cases for me, was very helpful, especially if like me you work on Projects, don't need a full blown project management system. The ability to capture reminders/tasks etc... in one place on your outlook calendar was helpful.

It has made made consider using Google Calendar instead and tieing in with my Google Mail accounts, if this happened there may be a lot of licence revenue lost by Microsoft!

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

Per your description,I understand you want to bring back the 12 hour snooze, and the 5 minutes before snooze,please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Per researching, I am sorry to say that this feature is not available in the new outlook.

I understand your frustration, however, most of these features are in active development and are expected to roll out this month. For your reference please seeMicrosoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365.

In the meantime, I suggest you create an entry in the Feedback Portal Outlook · Community (microsoft.com), and comments there as well.

It's been six months since this reply was posted. Has there been any progress on bringing back the longer snooze periods???

In answer to the question I have received an eMail about:
"No there hasn't been any further engagement from Microsoft on this"

What's the point of this community if Microsoft fail to engage with users feedback?
