This tip takes a little bit of setup, but once you complete it, you can mark email messages as "Flagged." It can be a way to mark a message as a To Do item or to remind you that you need to respond to the message later.
Here's how to set it up:
In Mail, click on the View menu item and then Columns and choose Flags. This will create a new column in your messages list that looks like a small flag.
Click on the View menu item again and this time choose Customize Toolbar… A
sheet
will drop down that shows buttons that you can add to your
toolbar
.
Locate the button that looks like a flag and
drag
it up to the toolbar. You will notice that the other buttons move out of the way as you drag the flag button around. I placed my flag button on the far left but you can put yours wherever you want.
Now you can select a message or messages and hit the flag button in your toolbar. The selected messages will display a small flag in the flag column.
