SYMPTOMS
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. Outlook monitors
only four specific folders for reminders: Inbox, Contacts, 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 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 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 reminder notice.
