Flag messages for followup

Use flags to remind yourself to follow up on an issue or to categorize messages in your Inbox. Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access provides six colors—red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and purple—that can be used to mean different things. For example, you can flag all personal messages in blue, all business-related messages in green, all messages that must be followed up on within 24 hours in red, and so on.

Message flags are displayed in the last column of the Inbox view.

You can use message flags to do the following:

To flag a message with a particular color, right-click the flag that corresponds to the message, and then select the flag color.

Tip To change a message's flag to red, click the flag that corresponds to the message.

To flag a message as complete, right-click the message, and then click Flag Complete .
To sort your messages by color, click the flag column heading.
To clear a flag from a message, right-click the message, and then click Clear Flag.
