Luckily, it is quite easy to automatically add reminders for these Follow Up flags as well so you can save yourself the extra step of using the “Add Reminder” or the “Custom” command. This includes the Quick Flags for Today, Tomorrow, This Week and Next Week.
How can I automatically set reminders on flagged items?īy default, flagged messages and other Outlook items will indeed not sound a reminder when none is explicitly set. When using the Today, Tomorrow, This Week or Next Week flags, the item does not show a 'bell' icon either. I've flagged several messages for Follow Up but unless I also specify a reminder time myself, I do not get any reminder at all.
