Setting Reminders and Flags in Outlook for Follow-Up Responses
Outlook allows you to set reminders when you need to reply to a message or when you're waiting for a response. This feature helps you stay organized and avoid missing important follow-ups.
Flag for Recipients (Urgent Replies)
If you're expecting an urgent reply, you can use a flag that is visible to the recipient. This draws attention to the message and highlights its importance.
How to set it:
- Before sending the email, click on Follow Up in the toolbar.
- Select Flag for Recipients.
- In the Flag to field, choose the appropriate action (e.g., "Reply", "Review", etc.).
- If you don’t want to include a reminder, uncheck the Reminder box.
This feature is especially useful for messages that require a quick action or reply from the recipient.
