Flag an outgoing message so the recipient receives a reminder (Outlook 2000/2002/2003/2007)

Let's say you want to help an email recipient remember to review an email that you're sending. You can flag that message and cause the recipient to receive a reminder about reviewing that email message. To do so:

1. Launch a new Message form, and then choose Actions | Follow Up | Add Reminder (Actions | Follow Up in 2002; Actions | Flag For Follow Up in 2000). Tí If you have Microsoft Word set as your email editor, click the Message Flag button on the form's toolbar instead.
2. Make a selection from both the Flag To and Due By drop-down lists in the Flag For Follow Up dialog box. Then, click OK.

Complete your message, and then click Send. The recipient will receive a reminder about reviewing the email you sent on the day and time you've specified.

Adapt for Outlook 2007
