Flagging only works in default folders. To get it to work in user-created folders, you will need an addin such as one from http://www.slovaktech.com

After furious head scratching, reiner asked:

| When I set a flag for follow up on a contact that is in my main
| "Contacts" group, the reminders window pops up at the appropriate
| time to remind me. But I created a new group called "Prospects" for
| clients that I'm working on, and for the contacts I put into this
| group the follow up flags I set do not pop up in the reminders window.
|
| How do I get the follow up flags for contacts in other groups besides
| the default "Contacts" group to work correctly?
