Nice article but where is the OUTRAGE against all of these software companies that just cannot seem to implement THE BASICS for user experience. No UNDO button on the Outlook snooze dialog for 20+ years? Seriously? And you-all just put up with it? Where is the push-back against Micro$$oft, google, etc.

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.
