A flagged message may need to be acted on by a specific date. You can set a reminder for a flagged message. When you flag a message with the Flag for Follow Up dialog box, you can set a due date and time. When you set a due date, the Reminder dialog box opens on that date and time, allowing you to select Dismiss or Dismiss All to close the dialog box, Snooze to be reminded again in a specified time interval, or Open Item to display the flagged message. Messages can be flagged with a variety of preset comments or your own comments using the Flag to box in the Flag for Follow Up dialog box. The preset message comments include: Call , Do not Forward , Follow Up , For Your Information , Forward , No Response Necessary , Read , Reply , Reply to All , and Review . You can also type your own comments into the Flag to box.

When you view a flagged message in the Reading Pane or open it in a Message window, the flag comment and reminder date and time, if set, appear in the InfoBar above the message.

You can use the Flag for Follow Up dialog box to set options for an unflagged message or change options for an already flagged message.

The Custom Flag For Follow Up dialog box

NOTE You can also flag other Outlook items, such as meeting requests and contacts.
