Improvements for task management in Outlook

[dar512]

It would be useful if reminders for tasks could be set for some duration
ahead of the time the task is due. I think of it as "start reminding me two
weeks before the quarterly report is due".

In addition to the above it would be very useful to see how much time you
have left to complete a task. So the notification window would say something
like "5 days left until the quarterly report is due".

Note that we have Outlook 2003 at work. Maybe Outlook 2007 already has
these features?

You can already set a reminder on Tasks in Outlook 2003 which lay before the
actual Due Time or Start Time.

The Reminders Window counts the time from or to the reminder time (hence its
name ;-)). If you are looking for a more advanced Reminders Window, then
