Outlook Email Hot Tip - Follow Ups/Flags

Follow Ups/Flags

Use the follow up tool to help track the due date of an email/task, and/or set a reminder alert.

To use, right click on an email and select Follow Up. 

From here you can select when the task is due (the email will turn red when overdue) and/or click Add Reminder for an alert.

 Clicking Add Reminder will open a pop-up box where you will select the due date and the date and time you want to be sent a reminder. 

Now your email will look something like this: 

When you have completed the task or are ready to un-flag the email, click on the flag icon indicated above. 

This sets it as resolved and will show a tick.

Flagged emails will also show as tasks in the tasks tab so you can easily track them as a task checklist.
