Setting a reminder for a "Google mail" email

Is there a nice hack or plugin for Google mail (web version / Chrome) that will enable me to setup a reminder for an email that needs to be action and linked to a calander somehow?  

For example, in Outlook (which we no longer use on our corporate desktop PCs), I use to be able to drag an email to a calendar and set a date to remind me of the email and it would pop up at the time required.  It might not be possible but just wanted to check if some smart person here knows how to do this (without some complicated suggestion of using Outlook etc which is not an option for me).

Thx.

Im not following when you say "open inbox".  When I login to gmail inbox is already open and the preview screen is at the bottom.  There is no create button, only a compose button and that composes an email.  

The More actions command I already use, however it is not available for some reason for all emails.  Only selective emails, so i dont understand the gmail logic.

Yes, but as I mentioned, the create event option in the More menu, is not available for every email for some reason, hence my point about not understanding the gmail logic.  Try it on a few more emails, see if it always shows for you?
