No reminders in the new Outlook app
I am an independent advisor answering Outlook questions.
Meeting Reminders: This sounds like a bug. Please report it to Microsoft. Thanks for being an early adopter.
Grammarly: I use Grammarly as well. (I don't leave home without it. 
)
I am not having any issues.

Hi Teresa,
Thank you for your reply. I reported the problem when Diagnose told me one disturbing thing. To ensure that my Windows notification is enabled as well. IDK why would Windows notifications have anything to do with the Outlook app but In my company, Windows notifications are off. We just use in-App notifications so this new version of Outlook is a no-go for my company.
Also thank you for your screenshots a lot! It helped me realize that you are using Grammarly for Windows which does work. I just had a better experience with the Grammarly add-on for MS Office as it gives me a full side panel and a better overview. And that add-on is not working anymore on the new Outlook version.
I just hope that they plan to at least return all the functionalities that current Outlook has, as this new version is no advancement - it's a strip-down. Even our old signatures are now deformed in the new version...it's a real disaster...hopefully for now.
- I found this thread when searching online about this same issue. After reading this post, I went to check my Windows Notification settings. It's turned on globally and for Outlook specifically, but I still don't get meeting reminders. I do see notifications of new emails and meeting invites. I'm not sure, but I think I also don't see To Do reminders when I set them. I'm trying to stick with the 'New' UI, but am struggling in a few areas, including this one.
JSiemens I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution?
I was looking at this particular problem myself.
The new app isn't actually a new app I was told. It's an app that simulates the online version of outlook. This way it looks like a new app but it's more like a saas solution than an actual app (or maybe entirely a saas solution)
So the only way to get notification from this is by having your windows notifications on since it's sending notifications for your reminders but are only displayed in your windows notifications
Thank you for the update and the clarity, which will help others with similar issues.
Also, I am glad to hear that you reported it so MS can add it to their list of missed functionalities.
