Popup reminders fire on all folders and subfolders, even SharePoint folders that are connected to your Outlook and you’ve set the reminder time. Works on both stand alone Outlook and Outlook/Exchange. A huge improvement over earlier versions.

Nice extra tip about the arrow next to the New button.

It’s bloated, slow and painful when compared to other email apps and too localized and clunky when compared to calendar and other tracking apps such a Gmail/Google Calendar combo.

Outlook. Wrong for humanity.

If you move it to a subfolder, you will not receive the reminder.

Apart from that, nice list of not commonly used Outlook features.
I would also recommend the use of the shortcut keys. The list can be found when you click on the little down arrow beside the New button. A nice way to create an Appointment when you are in the Inbox without having to click on the Calendar and continue from there.
