OL97: No Reminder for Flagged Messages (162099)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q162099 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Outlook 97, you may not receive a reminder for flagged
messages that have a past due date and time.
CAUSE
The message is not in your delivery Inbox. For performance reasons, Outlook
monitors only three specific folders for reminders: Inbox, Calendar, and
Tasks.
MORE INFORMATION
Flagging a message is a quick way to either mark a message for you to
follow up or mark a message with a request for someone else. If the flag
has a reminder set, you receive a pop-up reminder at the due time.
When the recipient receives a message with a flag, a comment on the purpose
of the flag appears at the top of the message. If you set a due date and
time, this also appears. When the date and time is due, you receive a pop-
up reminder.
If you move the message to another folder, the due date and time will pass
without a reminder. If you move the past due message back into your
delivery Inbox folder, the reminder immediately opens a pop-up reminder
notice.
