Yesware Reminders
Reminders help you stay on top of important emails by pinging you at the top of your inbox when it's time to follow up. You can set a reminder when sending an email, on an incoming message, or retroactively on a previously sent email.
Set a Reminder When Sending
- While composing an email, click the Remind button (bell icon) at the bottom of the compose window.
- Choose whether you want to be reminded only if the recipient doesn't reply, or regardless of whether they reply.
- Select a time frame using the dropdowns or pre-listed options.
- Write a note about why you want to be reminded.
- Click Confirm, then send the email.
When a reminder fires, you receive an email from yourself labeled "Reminder" that includes your notes and tracking information. If you have Conversation view enabled in Gmail, the reminder threads with the original email and brings it to the top of your inbox as unread — making it easy to reply to the original message.
