I wish Outlook allowed you to have ‘Recurring Emails’ (like recurring appointments)

By Adam Cogan in Outlook 0 Comment

We share our calendars and one of the things that screws scheduling meetings, is because many people put in a non-appointments as appointments (people look busy when they are not). e.g. ‘Pay rent’ when they actually just need an email each Tuesday.

There is another advantage to removing appointments of this type, people get fewer reminders. So they don’t get desensitized to extra reminders that are not time critical.

  1. Do you agree we should not put in non-appointments as appointments?
  2. Does anyone else wish for recurring emails to their inbox?
  3. Is there any solution?

PS: I don’t really want to install an outlook add-in (but I’ll take anything)

Figure:'Pay Rent' just another non-appointment as an appointment - because of missing functionality in Outlook/Exchange
