Don't use the RESET VIEW button, as this will clear your filters. That's the best way to access a future-dated email. If you change to one of the other views, you can see all of your emails without any filtering.

I have mine set to COMPACT most of the time, and that's where I applied the filters. In the VIEW tab, the left-most button is CHANGE VIEW. You can set a custom flag for any date when you want the email to reappear in your inbox. The message will disappear from you inbox, and will reappear tomorrow, with a red flag, indicating that it's not a new item in your inbox but rather a tickled item. Next, try flagging an email (hover over the email and right-click the grey flag) and set it for tomorrow.

This will apply to your inbox and all other folders in the account, but I only use flags in my inbox anyway. Go back and create another one in the same START DATE category, and set the condition to "does not exist." Outlook will now only show unflagged email messages and ones that are flagged and due to be started. Set the condition to "on or before" and then type "today" in the value field (Outlook recognizes this value and knows what to do with it). In the FIELD drop-down, choose ALL MAIL FIELDS, then START DATE. Select your inbox and then the VIEW tab at the top. Here's what mine looks like:įor an email tickler, use the same sort of filtering (I have two accounts and had to set this up for both). Just right-click in the Task pane, select FILTER, go to the ADVANCED tab, and set it up as you like. Using filters, I can make my Task pain only show actual tasks (not flagged emails), only uncompleted tasks, and only tasks that are now due (or due to be started if you prefer). If it's not visible, Go to the main VIEW tab and enable it in the LAYOUT section. This doesn't affect the main Tasks window, just the To-Do bar at the right.

I've been using these for the Task pane for a while, and really like them. Your mileage may vary depending on your situation. I'm using Office365 hosted email, with Outlook 2016 for Windows. And it only takes a few minutes to set it up. I have a solution for an Outlook email tickler that's easy to use, and requires no plugin.
