I'm trying to retrieve a dismissed reminder of an email (vs calendar item) -- is there any way to do that? this works only for calendar reminders but not an email that I set to remember to look at today. If there's a way to do that, I'd really appreciate help. Thank you!

Hi Kristem,
Select a mail folder firstly, then change the folder view with the same steps.

Not working for me. The content is too old and doesn't match Outlook Office 365. There is no List menu item for calendar view.

Hi Bruno,
In Outlook 365, you can change the view to preview by clicking View > Change View > Preview.

Thank you for sharing this. I've looked for this solution many times in the past and just gave up on it because I've only ever seen 'Macro' solutions and I'm not going to that length. THIS is the solution. I would be nice if there was a simple "Undo" or CTRL+Z but this will suffice because I've needed this solution for way too long. Thanks again and well documented too!
