Schedule email and Calendar Appointment in Inbox and Calendar like on iPhone Outlook app!
Add the ability to schedule/archive emails like you can in the wonderful Outlook for iPhone app! Swiping two fingers to the right or left on the email to archive or schedule wonder be amazing! It should include this feature in Drafts as well.
You can swipe to the side and "Schedule" an email in the Inbox to go to a Scheduled folder until the time that you have it scheduled for when it shows up again in your Inbox at the time that you need to deal with it!
This is THE KILLER feature that would put Outlook far above all the rest!

Add the ability to schedule a recurring e-mail (reminder) to go out on a specified date and time to a given distribution list

Yes, agreed. Scheduled Inbox is _the reason_ I decided to try Mobile Outlook on iOS. I love how I have a unified email and calendar app for 5 accounts on my phone; having that on my Mac would be great as well.
Thank you.

Being able to "Schedule" emails (like on the Android and IOS versions of Outlook) is a powerful feature that should be standard across all platforms -- having this available on desktop and OWA/web versions of Outlook would definitely boost productivity.

"Schedule" the most intuitive and seamless time management feature of an inbox.

Come on Microsoft!
This is a really good feature for Outlook. Read on Phone and edit or answer it later in Outlook or OWA. -

In an effort to support feature parity between platforms for the best Outlook functionality, in outlook.office.com please support the Schedule feature that moves emails to a follow-up status, like you can on the iPhone app. Also see https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/322590-outlook-2016-for-windows/suggestions/11539812-schedule-email-in-inbox-like-on-iphone-outlook-app

Write a message, save it, add recipients, then schedule it to be sent at a different time.

One of the most useful email features ever. I am surprised it is not available in the desktop version. Inbox zero has so many productivity gains and it's a real stress release.

FYI, I use the technique below to "snooze" e-mails in Outlook and have them return to Inbox. Unfortunately, it only works on desktop (haven't found way to create filtered view on web or mobile).
I also use Gmail Keys to make keyboard shortcuts work like Gmail (archive, categorize, flag for follow up, delete, next/previous e-mail, etc.)...you'll need to Google to find the version that works with your version of Outlook.

Is there a way to set a "move to inbox" once the deadline on a task is reached? This way we would be able to "flag and f-up" till a specific date, which would trigger a return to inbox. Food for thought.

I'm very much an Apple fan boy but i've stopped using Apple Mail on the iphone and now use the outlook app purely because of this feature. please add it to the Outlook desktop client.

@Adam Lein this is not 100% the same as the very simple mobile solution. After 'flag for follow up' you have to move the message. The reminder will appear in your calendar, but the message will not re-appear in your inbox on the set date and time.

Once again, this is a feature that is awesome in the Outlook Mobile app and needs to be added to the Outlook Desktop App ASAP. Huge productivity gains!

We already have this feature. It's called "Flag for Follow Up" and you can specify reminders for when you want to see the email again. It even goes directly into the Outlook To Do's section so you can easily reference all of your scheduled emails. Really what we need is for the mobile version of Outlook to correctly support flagged emails with notifications!!! Mobile Outlook's "Schedule" command SHOULD add a flag with reminder that syncs with Outlook 2016 & Exchange, but it doesn't.
