Reminders Assistant

With the Reminders Assistant plugin for Outlook you can set reminders for each and every Outlook folder including embedded ones.Reminders Assistant is an add-in for Microsoft Outlook. The Reminders Assistant component is one of the 18 addins included into the program MAPILab Toolbox.

SureAlerts

Current versions of Outlook do not display pop-up meeting reminders in the same way as previous versions did - they no longer display on top of other windows. SureAlerts addresses this problem and displays your reminders in a small window in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, very similar to the way Outlook displays new incoming e-mails. Alerts now display the length of time until your event or is overdue. This matches the information that Outlook displays in its reminders. If the event is in the past, the text is red. Mark a Task or Email Follow-Up item as completed via its alert.

Yesware
