How do I filter MacOS mail to show only mail items to which I've added a reminder?

Seems a simple thing, but I can't figure out how to do it. Smart Mailbox? Some other way?

You should see them in the Remind Me mailbox in the sidebar. If you don’t see the folder, hover your mouse over Favorites in the sidebar, click the “+” icon and add the Remind Me folder.

Thanks again for your replies. It seems a shame they don't offer a more complete set of filter options. I wonder what criteria they use to decided which fields to offer as filters and which not to offer.

That said, I figured out a work-around for my particular problem: I view the inbox in column view and add the Remind Me field to the columns, then sort by the Remind Me field. Now I can see all my past-due emails and take action as needed.

Thanks for the reply. What I’m looking for is a way to filter so I see all emails that have been marked for reminding, even if the remind date is already passed. The Remind Me mailbox only displays emails that are marked for reminding in the future, which isn’t particularly helpful to me.

I find I let a reminder slip by every now and then and over time I end up with dozens of past-due emails. I need a way to display those so they don’t slip through the cracks as they do now.

isn’t there some way to set up a smart mailbox to show all items with pending reminders? I can’t figure one out!
