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

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

Answer 3

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...

If you think that might help then it would be great if you moved this question into another forum where it might fit better.

If you think that might help then it would be great if you moved this question into another forum where it might fit better.

I am moving your question to the Outlook for Developers forum since it has been several days since you have asked this question.

Answer 6

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.

You can get more deatil about this topic from link below:
