Outlook for Windows can set reminders to follow up on incoming emails but what’s less well known are the two options for follow up on emails you send out.
Attaching a flag to an email you sent means Outlook will pop-up to remind you. For outgoing emails it’s a great way to remind yourself if the person has NOT replied or done as you asked.
Outlook for Mac does NOT support this feature.
Sent emails can also include a reminder for the recipient.
From an open email message go to Home | Tags | Follow Up | Add Reminder:
There are two Flag or Reminder options:
Flag for Me
This is a personal reminder that only you, as the sender, will see.
Flag for Recipients
This reminder is sent with the email and may become a reminder on the recipients computer.
