Default HELP Outlook 2002 Email Follow-Up???

I'm trying to use the Follow-Up flag for RECEIVED mail as a way to remind me
of action I need to take some time in the future.

When I get an email that I want to create the Follow-Up for, I can
successfully get a date/time entered, the email displays a red flag
indicating its set, but no reminders ever pop up.

I don't keep the received, flagged emails in my inbox - I drag them to my
Personal Folders so I have my Pending email with my laptop all the time.

Should this work? Is there another way?

flags only work in the default folders - there is an addin at slovaktech.com
that will fire reminders in any folder or you can upgrade to ol2007 when it
is released.
