I need to learn how to set a reminder in Outlook. I’m looking for a solution that provides a clear and simple, step-by-step guide on how to create a new reminder for an email or a meeting, and how to manage existing ones. The guide should be applicable to the latest versions of Outlook.
To set a reminder in Outlook, open a new or existing item (like an email or calendar event), click the Follow Up or Reminder button, and select your desired reminder time.
To set a reminder in Outlook:
-
Create or open an email, task, or calendar event.
-
Click the “Follow Up” or “Reminder” option.
-
Set the date and time.
-
Click OK — the reminder will alert you at the set time.
