Most of us receive a lot of email and important messages may get overlooked in our long list of messages. If youāre sending a message that requires attention in a timely manner, you can set the priority for the message, allowing the recipient to find it quickly.
To send a high priority email message, make sure the āHomeā tab is active and click āNew Emailā.
Enter the recipientās email address, subject line, and body of the message. Make sure the āMessageā tab is active.
In the āTagsā section of the āMessageā tab, click āHigh Importanceā, if the message has high priority. You can also assign a āLow Importanceā to a message. This is handy if the message is not as important, but you still want the recipient to be able to find it quickly in their list of email messages.
To assign a priority to an email message, you can also click the āMessage Optionsā dialog box button in the āTagsā section.
The āPropertiesā dialog box displays. In the āSettingsā section, select an option from the āImportanceā drop-down list to set the priority.
You can also select the āSensitivityā of the message in the āSettingsā section. Click āCloseā once youāve made your selections.
High priority messages received in Outlook are marked with a red exclamation point in the first (āImportanceā) column and low priority messages are marked with a blue down arrow.
These marks make it easier to find messages based on priority or importance. You can also click on the column header (ā!ā) to sort your messages by importance.
