Set email reminders on events
Please restore email reminder functionality to calendar! I rely on this to keep track of my schedule and I'm now using Google calendar because I can't get this Outlook.com beta to send me email reminders.

It is critical for me to use. -

why are email reminders not coming to my email? There is a little drop down on the calendar screen itself with the reminder. You have gotten this "feedback" for like 2 years. Why don't you fix it?????

On Calendar, please add email reminders as in classic version. It's very helpful to receive email reminders 2-3 days early

I also need the email reminders! I don't use a smart phone, I depend on my PC.

I guess it's been about a year since email reminders for events I create on the calendar seldom work. It sends me an email reminder barely one out of ten times that I ask to get one.

I can confirm that this option is now restored. Thanks for attending our resquests.
The Outlook App for Android is still missing this option though. If possible, please restore, because most of the times i create events on that app, and there i still don't have the email option., -

My calendar now has an option for email available again. Click on "remind me" and there should be an option for "add email reminder" at the bottom of the list. I have tested it and it worked. No one from Outlook team has notified me so don't hold your breath for that to happen.

I use Email Reminders routinely! I don't see that option any longer in the dialogue box for setting up events, etc. Am I missing something or have Email reminder options been deleted?

I agree 100%. It is very annoying.

E-Mail Reminder of the previous calendar was one distinguishable, important, really actually useful tool and for some reason it is removed in this version.
I'm literally thinking about moving my entire mail and calendar to another provider because of this.
While I don't know the reasoning behind removing this feature, as a long-time user with expertise in marketing, I can say that whoever made this decision has no idea about what does the user want.

Why can't I set email reminders for calendar events? This was possible in the previous Outlook.

The calendar event email notification is something that I RELY on. In this new version of Outlook.com it's gone! If it doesn't come back, I have to change to a diffferent calendaring service (does Yahoo or Google do this? I'll have to look). Please Microsoft, fix this!!!
