Create an appointment from a message in Outlook on the web

A user of Outlook on the web wanted to know if it was possible to create an appointment from an email message.

I want to save an email message in my Outlook on the web calendar so I can set a reminder to answer the email at a later date.

You can pin messages in Outlook on the web to keep messages at the top of the Inbox, although it is not practical to pin a lot of messages.

Outlook on the web also supports flagging messages, but you can’t set a reminder on the flag, as you can using Outlook desktop software. Flagged messages can be listed in the To-Do list, where you can set a due date.

Or you can create an appointment from the email: click the 3 dots on the message action bar and choose Reply all by Meeting then delete the address(es) from the Invite attendees field to convert the meeting to an appointment.

reply all by meeting

Click the X at the end of each attendee's name to remove them from the invitation.
delete attendee
