Default Turn reminders into taks and Outlook reminders in folders

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....
James

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.
