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?

    Any update on the below. It seems it still has not been rolled out and we are nearing the end of June?

    Dear Lisa R_636,

    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.

    Should you have any questions and concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you once again for your precious time.

    Best regards,

    Microsoft community

    Thank you for taking the time to post Rick (@Rick Carlson1)

    I agree with your assessment wholeheartedly and further suggest it is an arrogant organisation that establishes & host a 'community user group' but doesn't interact with it, not even to acknowledge receipt of the feedback posted

    If nothing else I find it reassuring that I am not alone in my frustration, so a big 'shout out' thank you for seeing me; to all that have added their voice to me question / request and I'm delighted that although my employer forces me to use micrsofts products, I use Linux, Google / Android and LibreOffice outside of work

    Also just had to switch to the new Outlook...also mad that they took away the longer duration reminders. At the very least we need 4 hours, 8 hours, and 1 day. Those are probably the most common options I used in the classic Outlook. If I am not doing it now, then I am likely too busy to get to it in the next 4 hours at work.

    Why would MS change something that worked...stupid.
