MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / December 2007If no Response Reminder setup
Not sure if I can pose this question simply or not, but here goes: I would like to set a "Response Reminder" on an email I send to someone so that if they do not answer me back in say two days, that I get an automatic reminder to send them another email or call them on the land line to find out why they have not responded. This provides a couple of functions, first if the message does not reach them (bad email address) it reminds me to seek other methods to contact them, Second and more importantly, if they do not handle a specific job I want done and answer me back by the time I set, then I can go and chew some tail. Does this make sense? > Not sure if I can pose this question simply or not, but here goes: > I would like to set a "Response Reminder" on an email I send to > someone so that if they do not answer me back in say two days, that I > get an automatic reminder to send them another email or call them on > the land line to find out why they have not responded. There's no way to make Outlook trigger on a non-event; i.e., you can't set a reminder for something that doesn't happen. Outlook contains no per-message or per-recipient timers.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] you can flag messages in the sent folder - it won't tell you if you received a reply, just remind you to look for a reply. There are also 3rd party tools that will remind you - such as follow up reminder on this page: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.asp.

I use flagging frequently. Below is a Microsoft site on how to use it, and what it is.
