Idea #25633: Flags past their due date are easy to miss

Written by Catbells the 18 Aug 10 at 16:56. Related project: Evolution Mail and Calendar. Status: New
Rationale
I have flagged some of my e-mail messages in Evolution for follow up and set a due by date. When the date passes, the message header turns red. However the message header is not in a place where I can see it on or after the due by date. I don't flag enough messages for me to look in the search folder 'Flagged for follow up' every day.

My proposal is for a pop up alert of anything flagged for follow up that has passed its due by date and has not been marked as complete or has not been deleted.

Sometimes it's nice to be attractively nagged and told how late you are.

Sorry about dragging text from the Rationale field to the Solution field. I didn't notice that it had been copied (I expected it to cut) until it was too late to change -- c'est la vie!

It's never too late to change. You can still edit your idea.

In fact, please do - please take the solution out of the Rationale. The Rationale is the field in which you explain the problem. The Solution is the field in which you explain how the problem should be fixed.
