How to send mails with reminder for adressees?

Question
-
Dear all,
I already invested some effort (including searching in different places) in finding out how to send mails via vb.net with following properties
- Flag "Flag for me" set
- Date "Start date" = 08.10.2015
- Date "Due date" = 15.10.2015
- Flag "Reminder" set, Date = 14.10.2015, Time= 16:00 Uhr
- Flag "Flag for recipients" set
- Flag to = "Follow up"
- Flag "Reminder" (in lower area of this window) set
- Date = 13.10.2015, Time= 12:00 Uhr
What I did up to now:
With olMailItem .FlagRequest = "Follow up" .ReminderSet = True .ReminderTime = dDueDate End With
With this the last three points of the list above work, but then...
I can't find the other properties of the MailItem object for the other points.
Does anyone have a good idea?
Thanks a lot in advance and best reards,
Markus

You cannot do that - imagine how much the spammers would love that: just send a message, and Outlook will popup a reminder for you. The only way to do something similar is to send s meeting request - Outlook will create a tentative appointment in the Calendar folder when it sees a meeting request in the Inbox.

Hi Markus,
As Dmitry stated, we are not able to send an message with reminder in Outlook. As a workaround, we can assign a task to otheres.

Perhaps this article will help, it is a list of all MailItem Properties.

Thanks, but I checked this already with no success. None of these properties seems to do what I need... Or I am blind and don't see the woods because of all the trees...Monday, October 26, 2015 1:50 PM
