Flag for Follow Up

[reiner]

When I set a flag for follow up on a contact that is in my main "Contacts"
group, the reminders window pops up at the appropriate time to remind me.
But I created a new group called "Prospects" for clients that I'm working
on, and for the contacts I put into this group the follow up flags I set do
not pop up in the reminders window.

How do I get the follow up flags for contacts in other groups besides the
default "Contacts" group to work correctly?

Flagging only works in default folders. To get it to work in user-created folders, you will need an addin such as one from http://www.slovaktech.com
