How can I get automatic email meeting reminders using Outlook & Office 365?

Question

How can I set up Microsoft Outlook with Office live to send email reminders before meetings to attendees?

This is so that I can schedule tasks that need doing and ensure that everyone is reminded by email.

Answer 1

Ramhound is correct. Here is how I get around it.

If I'm concerned about attendees forgetting, what I do is:

• Copy the meeting text into a new email.
• Copy over the subject line and add "Reminder"
• Copy over attendees
• Set a send delay.

The last step can be done easily in Outlook - go to the "Options" tab at the top, click "Delay delivery", and set your terms.

You could also buy an outside service that does auto reminders, but the above steps really only take 12 seconds if your hotkey use is good.
