older reminders in my outlook cannot be dismissed or cancelled or snoozed. I can't close the pop up either.

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    Hi @arabella seegers

    In order to assist you better, I will need more information. May I ask do you use Exchange, IMAP or POP account?

    What Outlook desktop version are you using? (New Outlook for Windows, Classic Outlook for Windows, New Outlook for Mac or Legacy Outlook for Mac)

    For example, in New Outlook and Classic Outlook for Windows, there is a feature where you can disable reminder for past events.

    You can check in this article: Add or delete notifications or reminders in Outlook - Microsoft Support

    Can you please specify which Outlook are you using so I can provide the exact steps.

    I look forward for your reply.
