Gmail’s new ‘remind me’ service

March 31, 2010 in Christian Living, Pastors

Have you ever sent an email and not received a reply? Silly question! Sometimes this doesn’t matter, but sometimes the reply is important and it’s messy adding a calendar item along the lines of “check to see if Troy replied to my email”.

Help is here!

I just noticed this in my Gmail account:

This new feature enables you to set a reminder to follow up with your recipient if you haven’t heard back from them (via email) within your designated time-frame.

Useful tool.

I’m not sure if it has been enabled on all Gmail accounts, or if it’s just being tested on a few. Can you see it?

Update

Some people have written in and not know where they should be looking to see this new service. Here are a couple of screenshots to show you what I’m seeing:

    Steve,

    Not only do I not see it in my gmail, or anything about it at the google blog, but your article is the third hit on google when I search “gmail remind me”.

    Your account must be very special…

    brillo! thanks.

    doesn’t look like I have it but hopefully gmail will make it available for everyone at some point

    This service is now no longer available on my account. And just when I actually wanted to use it!
