Both of the things you ask for are there in Outlook 2007. For earlier
versions you'd have to drag the flagged item to the Tasks folder to
auto-create a task item and you'd have to use a 3rd party addin to get
reminders from folders other than Inbox, Calendar, Tasks and Contacts.

2 quick questions:

Setting up reminders is so much easier that setting up tasks. I want
to be able to set a reminder and have that become a task right away.
Anyone know

If I can't do that I'd at least want to know how to set it up so my
Outlook reminders work when I move my emails into folders

Thanks for your help....
