When you are using an IMAP account, you do not have the option to set a custom Follow Up Flag with a reminder. Is there still a way to mark my messages for follow up or at least get them to show up as a Task in my To-Do Bar? This might have something to do with the fact that I'm using a IMAP account. There are no options such as Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week, etc. I'm trying to set a reminder on a message but I only have the option to flag it or to clear the flag.
