Hi Experts

I need macro which will send reminder if no reply received on first or original email.
Please help.

Thanks

There is at least one utility that can do this - Follow-Up Reminders - Sperry Software - at $30, it's probably cheaper than trying to do it with macros (and it will be more efficient).

I don't have any macros that do this... i would probably set a flag on the sent message then check incoming messages that begin with RE: for a match in the sent folder and turn the reminder off if a match is found.

Or... just set the reminder on the sent message then use a reminder macro to send a message when the reminder fires... but you'd either need to mark the sent item complete yourself or use a macro to match the incoming message to the sent. If you use conversation view, marking the sent item complete yourself should be easy enough.

BTW, here is a macro that will flag sent items - How to set a flag to follow up using VBA - it asks if you want to, but you could remove the if to flag all (ir change the if to flag all but the ones with Re: in the subject).
