How to snooze an email in the desktop version of Outlook?

[JacKonZ]

In the mobile app of Outlook, there is an option to snooze an email to a specific date and time. In that specific time, the email will go back to the inbox. Usefull if you are running inbox zero.

How do I find the same option in the desktop version of Outlook?

Hi @JacKonZ 

Kindly follow 

1. Select the email or right click the selected email 

2. Click on Follow-up > Add Reminder

This will give you the option to set reminder and snooze the email option when the reminder pops up.

@JacKonZ  Outlook desktop doesn't yet have the snooze option. You will need to outlook on the web or outlook mobile to snooze messages. 

If you set a flag, you'll need to move the message out of the inbox yourself if you want it out of sight until the reminder time.

Are you familier maybe with 3rd party tools that offer this for outlook?

@Faraz Shaikh 

Thank for the idea, but I already tried that, it's not easy working with those reminders.

I really need to sort this out, I'm inbox zero type of guy and this is really driving me crazy.

@JacKonZ  QuickFile has a snooze feature  - Quickfile Email Organiser | Email Management - Standss

@JacKonZ Boomerang will do it and has a certain amount of free usage.

Hello. That company is defunct (there is no support, but they will auto-take your money for a purchase). However, a very similar, and perhaps better version (with support) is 'SimplyFile' from a company called TechHit. I am a user, no other vested interest. The focus of the add-in is intelligent one-click filing of your emails, but one of the other features is snoozing emails.

Note, I am talking about Outlook for desktop - PC.

All the best, Desmond.

Not available yet. You can vote for this option to be introduced into the desktop version:

Outlook UserVoice is dead - you can leave feedback (using Outlook's Help > Feedback menu) but won't see and can't vote on others feedback.

Just found that out, Diane! Oh well, feedback it'll have to be, then...in my version, it's in the ribbon under Help > Suggest a feature.

I keep forgetting that only the insider builds (or at least the Beta version) has Feedback. :(

Works like a charm. Thanks, Desmond!

I'm going to try this. Thanks, Desmond!
