Sometimes, when you send a message, you would like to be reminded to follow up on the message—for example, to make sure that you have received a reply. You can flag a message for follow up and, optionally, have Outlook remind you. Here’s how:

1. Click the Follow Up button on the Message tab of the Ribbon. Outlook displays the menu shown in Figure 27-45.
2. To flag for follow up at one of the predefined times (for example, tomorrow or next week), choose the corresponding command on the menu.
3. To specify a custom time, choose the Custom command. Outlook displays the Custom dialog box, as shown in Figure 27-46.
4. Make sure that the Flag for Me option is selected.
5. From the Flag To list, select the type of follow up (for example, Follow Up, Reply, and so on).
6. Enter the desired start and due dates in the corresponding fields. Click the down arrow next to each field to select from a calendar.
7. If you want Outlook to remind you of this item, select the Reminder option and then enter the date and time in the adjacent fields.
8. Click OK.

You can also flag a message for the recipient. All you need to do is select Flag for Recipients from the Follow Up menu (Figure 27-45) and then enter the relevant information in the lower part of the Custom dialog box (Figure 27-46).

When an Outlook user receives a message with such a flag, the flag status column in the Inbox displays a special icon indicating that follow up information is included with the message. The user can right-click this icon to add the message to his or her to-do list. E-mail programs other than Outlook may ignore this information or handle it differently.
