How to change the default follow up time in Outlook?
As we know, when we add a follow up reminder for an email in Outlook, the default follow up time is 4:30 PM (or other time depending on your working hours). However, you may want to change the default follow up time, and let it remind you at the beginning of working hours, such as 9:00 AM. In this article, I will show you how to change the default follow up time in Outlook.
