Return Flag for Follow-up/Reminder
With the New Outlook for Mac, you seem to have removed the functionality to right-click on an email and set a reminder/flag/due date for a mail item. Can you please return this functionality? I found it especially useful for items that I could not act on at the moment but needed to follow back up with.

I'm going back to the old version until you've got the new one up to date.

Having a "check mark" when email has been completed is critical for my workflow. Please add back!

Absolutely, but this feature only makes sense if I can then sort it in a way that the flagged messages come up on top!

Please add the ability to flag an outgoing message for follow-up if a reply is not received within some set period, say 24 hours. Very handy for keeping tabs on what other people owe you.

Please also bring back when composing/sending a message.

Please BRING BACK the feature to set a reminders to flag on selected messages. Also, please bring back Tasks and Categories. I reverted back to the Old Outlook version to have the capability to add follow-up reminders to messages on my mac. Bad news, the reminder notifications now do not pop-up on my iPhone. I rely a lot on follow-ups and reminders and need an application that communicates (syncs) with all devices. I hope it's in works to bring back this critical feature(s).

I constantly use the "check" mark after I've flagged and completed an email task - I get loads of emails and this prevents me from opening an email several times - when it's checked I don't worry whether I took care of the task. Please return this feature. It's critical for me.

And be able to group by the flag status too.
Im the same, use it as a to-action list. -

This facility is why I choose to use Outlook instead of Mac Mail or another email client programme. Please MS - put it back into Outlook, and keep it there.

I LOVE how clean the new outlook for Mac is but the inability to flag an email for follow with a reminder is beyond useless. I switched back.

I've returned to old version just because we don't have this feature.

Yes, please. Will not use the new version of Outlook for Mac without this functionality.

Yes PLEASE! This is a mandatory function for my work. I've gone back to the original version of Outlook for that very reason. PLEASE add it in!

I like the look/feel of new Outlook but the loss of a reminder date/time for flags as well as having to link to a website for notes/to-do list is nuts in addition to having issues logging into that site.

To be honest, what were you thinking when you left this out?

The new version is missing this feature! To Do currently takes you a webpage to follow-up on tasks. It would be great if it were built into Outlook. Also, there's no way to follow-up an email on the new version. Please bring this to the new version!

In the old look and feel of Outlook it was possible to quit the flag of an email, when you have finished a task. We all miss this function.

The new Outlook for Mac seems to have lost the ability to set reminder dates and times on emails - this is one of the most compelling reasons we chose Office 365 over G-Suite. Losing the ability to flag emails with reminder date and time completely destroys the entire way a lot of people work.
