Outlook Reminder Question

[Edison]

I have been using outlook reminders to help manage my day for some time now
and got very dependant on them.

Then it happened; a large number of other people in the office started
using reminders; unfortunately they did not do a good job of understanding
their use.

People now send me email with reminders, these emails may have reminders
intended for me, or in some cases it's just a reminder on a group or for
someone else and I am copied; nevertheless I get those reminders popping up
on my system - my reminders getting buried in them.

I've check rules and looked a bit online without finding a way to turnoff
reminders received in email from others, or even having a choice to accept
the reminder or not (when reading the email).

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Hi Edison,

Reminders only work in the default "Inbox" of Outlook, not in "subfolders".

You could create an additional "Inbox II" and you could move all incoming
emails into this additional "Inbox II" by a rule.

Now you would not get a reminder anymore, as long as the reminder is in the
future.

Maybe it helps.

Oliver,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I would have hoped that I would be able to do
this without moving all my email. I use reminders so it’s not that I do not
want them to work, just only the ones I set or agree to.

Regards,
Edison
