Default !Why don't Follow-up Flags populate to Reminders window?

When I create a Follow-up Flag on an email or Contact - even specifying an
exact time and date - it does not appear in the Reminders window when that
time arrives.

Any help would be very helpful. Thanks

Are those items with reminders in your default Inbox and Contacts folders?
Without using a 3rd party utility you can only get reminders from items in
your default Inbox, Contacts, Calendar and Tasks folders. In all other
folders the items will only turn red when the reminders are due.

Ken,

Is there a 3rd party utility that will allow setting up search folders for
use with IMAP folders?

Thanks!

Craig

Only if you move or copy items from the IMAP folders to a local PST or
Exchange mailbox.

IMAP folders are located on the mail server and search folders, while not
limited only to mail items, are required to be located in the same mail
store as the folders the search folder is monitoring. A search folder is a
special MAPI folder with filtering restrictions on it and one requirement of
that setup is that the search folder is located in the same mail store as
the monitored folders.

Ken,

My messages marked for "follow-up" don't automatically appear in the
"Follow-Up Search Folder" when due. Is this the same issue raised here? The
only way I can get messages into the F/U Search folder is to redisplay them
when due, click on the "Follow-Up" icon and resave them. Messages that I
mark for "Follow-Up" typically end up in the "Sent" folder.

Thank you,
Tom

Well, they won't fire a reminder from Sent Items without an addin to do that
but they certainly should show up in the For Follow-up search folder. They
do in all my Outlook 2003 installations.

Have you customized your search folder in any way? You can check its
settings by right-clicking on it in the Folder List view of the Navigation
Pane and selecting Customize this Search Folder. Make sure all the folders
you want searched are checked in the Browse dialog.

At worst, if that doesn't help you can try starting Outlook with the
/cleanfinders switch and see if that helps you. Or you could delete the
existing search folder and create a new one using the For Follow-up template
that's provided.
