Batch remove reminders (alerts) from Outlook 2013 email messages

Question

I have thousands of messages in the inbox for which reminders are set (or maybe it is called Alert in English version).

Is there a way to remove reminders (alerts) from a group of selected (but not all) messages, without discarding the flags?

Here is what I have: flag with reminder set

and this is how I want it: reminder disabled, but flag still set:

but doing it for all selected messages.

Research I did: There is no Quick Step to remove the reminder, and flag dialog cannot be shown for a group of selected messages. Flags can be cleared for selected messages with a Quick Step, but I do not want to clear the flags completely, only to disable the reminder. I could probably write an AHK script, but I feel it is too fragile and might mess things up if something goes out of sync.

Answer 1

There is a free Delete Fields utility that does exactly what you want. Just install it with Outlook Add-In support and you can run it using right-click context menu on selected messages or for the selected Outlook folder(s) or event for the entire mailbox.

Specify the following fields names to delete:

ReminderSet,ReminderTime,ReminderSignalTime

This will delete reminders without clearing flag status.
