Good one thanks

This is an awesome video. I didn't even think of something like this, but can see it being incredibly useful.

I had no idea this was a thing. Would have been great when writing to customers seeking appointments in the days I was on a sales team.

I like this idea for customer scheduled meetings to remind them about our meeting they agreed to.

Ok, that was shockingly useful! How have I never bothered to tinker with that setting??? 😅

Thanks.

Thank you for uploading this. What happens if the recipient responds to the e-mail ahead of the reminder date; will the reminder still be active?

The reminder would still be active until the user completes the task. This can be done by simply clicking on the flag in their inbox to mark the item as actioned or by completing the action item in their To Do/Tasks area.

Yeah try to do anything with reminders or custom flags in "new outlook" (HORROR) - but this is a nice video ;-) --> one hack to this if you want to be annoying as F... for those recepients -> set reminder to go off at for example 6 am (or any time BEFORE office hours beginn) - in this way mail / notice will appear RED and not to be overseen ;-)

Yeah, currently the Web and New Outlook options don't support this feature, but who knows... It might get there eventually as they look to flesh it out more.

Could have called this video: “How to identify yourself as the worst person in the office”. Seriously, I would need to have a word with anyone who sent me an email with a built in flag, reminder, and to-do entry.

Yeah, this feature seems more appropriate for micromanagers and bossy bosses 😂.

2 questions: 1) does this work across different office365 tenants 2) how do I disable this on the receiving side?

@paulomalley

1: This does work across tenants. It also works with regular consumer addresses such as Outlook or Hotmail. 2: There is no setting on the recipient end to disable this. But should you get an email like this, simply clicking the flag to mark the task as complete would be sufficient to clear the flag and the task.

Hahaha. Possibly. 😂

F.Y. and all of those who send that emails with reminders, it drives me crazy

What version of Outlook is this? My flag dropdown does not have the "Add Reminder" feature. It just has Mark Complete or Clear.

This is the Outlook desktop client. The feature is still there in the latest version (2406). If you are using the Outlook (new) client instead, this feature has not been brought over as yet. Make sure that you are looking in the correct menu area. The option only appears in the "Message" tab of the ribbon when you are composing a message.

No Ads for this video. I am terrified. I don't use any products mentioned either. Looks #DoNoEvil forced me here

How to send multiple reminder to the recipient on same day..

I don't believe this is possible using a feature like this. You would likely need to look at some sort of specialised tool.

This is almost as bad as the people who send emails with read receipts. However, I do see it as potentially useful in certain scenarios. Just don't make it a habit.

Agreed. As with most features, they have times when they should/should not be used. I almost considered using the "with great power, comes great responsibility" quote regarding when to use this feature.

am not getting flag options while composing the mail

That seems quite odd as the feature is definitely still there on the latest installed version of the Outlook Desktop client. Are you perhaps using the Outlook (New) client instead? This feature has not been brought over to that version as yet.
