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

Anonymous

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?

    ditto everything people are saying re the snooze .. there needs to be the ability to snooze to longer than two hours (maybe allow a custom number of hours / days / weeks etc) .. right now I'm finding the lack of very simply functionality that is being omitted very annoying (eg not able to collapse folders another one!) .. Microsoft shouldn't be releasing tools that aren't ready

    .. can anyone recommend a better tool ? i've only ever used Outlook and realise they are most likely going to stop updating the older version for security patches etc

    It's been nearly a year of asking for better snooze functionality, and still it hasn't been fixed. Please bring it back! I agree with all of the commenters who need this basic function!!

    That sucks - I used snooze quite often for various alerts, especially during unexpected meetings/interruptions. It was very useful! Please bring it back!

    Yet another "improvement" that obviously wasn't road tested with human beings to see if it would actually be for the better or worse....

    GET THE SNOOZE OPTIONS BACK PLEASE!!!!

    100% agree we need the Snooze button back! Many times an reminder pops while you are the middle of something and need 5-10 mins to complete before reacting to the reminder.
