How to snooze Microsoft Outlook emails – yes you can with this tip!
Do you using Microsoft Outlook? Do you, like me, have a mound of emails that need to be dealt with, but not today? Perhaps next month or next week. Great, you can flag them but then you get loads of reminders that you then have to open as you can’t leave them sat there. I’ve used a system called Boomerang. Great for ‘snoozing emails’ and returning them to your inbox at the right time. However, it’s expensive!
You can use the snooze functionality in Outlook Online but this doesn’t work for the Microsoft Outlook client i.e. the software we work on in business.
Emails are still considered a dominant way of communications. Microsoft Outlook is more popular than anything for email and collaboration. You may be using various direct tools like Quick Steps, Rules and Categories to organise your emails in outlook. But if you really want to have a clean inbox and be organised, then this is a great hack!
Snooze or remind me later tool available in various email organising applications like Boomerang for Gmail, MailButler for Apple Mail, Inbox by Google. When you’re snoozing an email, it disappeared from inbox for a while and reappears at the specified time or after specific time period. You never miss important deadlines for actions on the email.
No but, yes but, no but 🙂 There is no direct snooze tool available In Outlook but there is away around this. To do this you need to create a new view of your inbox in outlook with filters.
And here it is.
This new view is not compulsory to create but this creation will give you the option to go back to your original view whenever you want (i.e. to see all your flagged mails).
As soon as you press OK, all the email with due dates provided or completed flag will disappear from your inbox. Mail with due dates will reappear on your inbox on the due date.
If you are using the conversation view in the outlook, follow few more steps.
Once you have applied filter, all you need to do is is flag it. It will reappear when you set it to.
If you ever want to see all the emails again, go back to View tab and change to your original view.
