Is there a way to flag emails for follow-up by date?

Just migrated from Outlook and miss the ability to flag emails for follow-up by a specific date. Has anyone found an effective method as a workaround?

This can be achieved with the Snooze function.

When you receive a message, and you don’t want to deal with it till next week, just snooze it for the required time. Then when that day comes, it will popup in your Inbox again as a new message. There will also be a snoozed folder, so you can view any of these messages at any time.

This is a Pro License feature, so is not available to Free License users.

Another Pro License feature is Watch for Reply. So when you send a message, you can specify to watch for a reply. You can be notified when there is a reply, or if there isn’t a reply after a specified time.

Thanks for the info!

Does this feature only work locally in eM Client? I snoozed a mail and this mail only seems to be snoozed in eM Client, but not on other clients/devices.

Snoozing is synced with some servers, but only with eM Client applications on both ends. It won’t sync to other applications, but will just be in the Inbox there as normal.

Thanks for the reply!

That’s too bad. Is there any chance it will be available on the future eM Client app? :slight_smile:

It is already available in eM Client.

It is just not available in other apps. Probably they don’t sync these the same way we do, so using custom flags, or they don’t have that function at all.

I was referring to a possible eM Client app on a phone, e.g. iOS. Is it already available?

Oh, yes it is in beta, but you find out more, and download it here:

You can snooze an email in the phone app, and it will also be snoozed in the desktop application.
