Using Office 2003, I'm trying to set reminders on email items which have been
filed in sub folders. The flag shows correctly, and when the date has been
reached the email headings change colour, but I don't get a reminder. Does
this only work on email items in the Inbox?

Reminders don't work in non-default folders without an add-in. See

"Reminders don't work in non-default folders without an add-in."

I'm not sure what a "non-default folder" is... would the Sent folder be a
default folder? I'm trying to figure out an easy way to follow up on messages
I've sent and I thought the flag/remind feature would be the way but I didn't
get a reminder.

Thanks!

The Sent Items folder is a default folder, but unless you're using Outlook
2007, reminders won't fire from that folder.
