My Outlook 2003 follow up flags don't pop up as reminders?

[Quinaldo]

I have used ollow up flags extensively before on previous laptops and
previous server systems, but for some reason when I set a reminder on an
outgoing email on my current system it doesn't pop up at the set time and go
into the reminders task schedule - any ideas?

For Outlook 2003 and previous, flags only work for items in the Inbox.
Outlook 2007 fires reminders for flagged items in any folders.
You can make it work for previous versions of Outlook by using this add-in;
