No reminders in the new Outlook app
I have found a way to turn these on, but I still can't find a way to set up timed flag reminders like I've used forever in the previous version.
Go to Settings at the top bar, then General. Under Notifications, you can click the arrow next to the different sections. For me, Calendar was toggled 'On', however, when I clicked the arrow, the notification style of 'None' was selected. Change this to Reminder or Desktop. Not the same, but at least it works for calendar reminders.

Thanks for this info. I was having the same issue but the notifications were set to Desktop. However the box at the top of your screen shot mentioned disabling Windows Focus settings. This appears to have been the fix in my case. Wouldn't have found without your screen shot.

AshHoweBU That's ok but the New Outlook is missing so MANY crucial (for my company) functionalities that we decided not to move to the new Outlook app until it is forced.
We are already struggling with the new Teams (it is forced for some users) and it is a complete disaster. They can't join meetings, the app freezes when joining or sharing screen, etc. Our Microsoft partner couldn't solve it and says there is no fix for whoever is affected.
So, in general, we are moments away from moving away from M365. e.g. if they would force new Outlook now we would immediately move to other solutions.
