Does the recipient of an email see it if I flag my own email (in response to his reply) after sending it?

Answer 1

Hi @Marie Swo ,

Did you flag the email after you send it? If so, it just flags the email for you.

Beside, if you want to flag the email for recipient, you must set the flag before you send the message.

Refer to the steps:

1.On the Message tab, in the Tags group, select Follow Up, and then select Custom.

2.Select Flag for Recipients.

Hi Marie,

No this is for your mailbox only to make note of the e-mail (almost a reminder for you to follow-up on the e-mail).

You can add custom reminders that send the other person a reminder, but if you just click the flag it is just a visual change for your side.
