How to change the default follow-up time in Outlook?
When we add a follow-up reminder to an email in Outlook, it's automatically set for 4:30 PM, or a time based on your working hours. However, if you prefer to be reminded at the start of your workday, say 9:00 AM, adjusting this default time can be more beneficial. This article will guide you on how to adjust the default follow-up time in Outlook to a time that better fits your schedule.

To change the default follow-up time in Outlook, follow these simple steps:
- Right click on an email, and select Follow Up > Set Quick Click from the right-clicking menu.
- In the Set Quick Click dialog box that appears, click the drop-down box and select Tomorrow. Then, click OK.
Following these adjustments, whenever you add a follow-up reminder to an email by right-clicking and selecting Follow Up > Add Reminder as shown below, the default follow-up time will automatically be set to the beginning of your working hours as configured in Outlook, such as 9:00 AM.
Notes:
- To adjust the start and end times of your workday in Outlook, navigate to File > Options > Calendar > Work Time.
- Follow-up reminders cannot be added to emails in IMAP accounts.
