Folder "doesn't support reminders" error

[Guest]

I just got an error in Outlook 2007 when I tried to set a reminder in an
email flaged for followup. The email is in a subfolder in a separate PST
file. When I set the reminder and press okay a dialog comes up stating:

The reminder for "Email Subject" will not appear because the item is in a
folder that doesn't support reminders. Is this OK?

Never had this problem in O2k3, and couldn't find this issue discussed in
the help files.

Any suggestions?

Well, Outlook has never been able to give you reminders from a PST that
isn't your primary PST. The only difference is that 2k7 actually tells you
that it can't.

Reminder Manager at http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm is tested on 2k7
and might do what you want.
