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!

On the desktop client if you set something for follow-up it should move to your scheduled folder, just like it does on your phone.
Also the terminology is confusing (schedule one place, flag/follow-up in other)

Thanks for this thread, I spent an hour searching for this feature in my Desktop Outlook. Even the ms online documentation does not mention that this is a mobile only feature. Need it!

I'm honestly stunned this feature is deployed on mobile yet nowhere to be found on desktop. WTF?

Wondering why Microsoft is still not implementing Inbox Zero in Outlook Desktop! This is the minimum expectation today!

Yes, very much required. It leaves Microsoft Outlook miles behind the rest.

How is this feature deployed to mobile without being available on desktops?

Why the heck isn't this a feature on the mac version yet? Yet another thing making me consider moving my business away from using Microsoft entirely.

It's a daily frustration for me to remember what i can do in each of outlook ios mobile, online, and in deskktop 2016. If only MS could bring consistency to the platforms (and don't even get me started about the same issue with onenote. MS is great at identifying great features, but inconsistency makes my day very painful.

I keep having to reach for my iPhone so I can schedule an email for later. Please bring this awesome feature to Office 365 Outlook Web App!

I just upgrade my outlook for mac to the version 15.33 (170409).
It doesn't come with this function(Scheduled).
Keep waiting -

There's no better feeling than reaching inbox zero. Scheduling emails to reappear when I want to see them again does wonders for my productivity and focus. Adding this feature would make Outlook 2016 cool again.

Totally agree--this is an awesome feature that I only recently discovered on Android. I have used Boomerang for a long time on Desktop, but the Schedule approach is just so much lighter weight!! I would *love* to have this!
