One way to make sure you don't forget about a message is with the Follow Up feature. To use the follow up feature:Select one or more messages.Right-click one of the messages.Click Mark for Follow Up. A dialog box opens to allow you to set the type of flag and the due date.The flag itself is the action you want to remind yourself about. Several are provided for you, such as Call, Forward, and Reply, but you can enter your own note or action if you want. You can set a deadline for the flag as well.After you have added a flag, you can mark it as complete or remove it entirely by right-clicking the message, then click either Flag Completed or Clear Flag.When you read a flagged message, its flag status is displayed at the top, before the message headers. An overdue message might tell you Overdue: Call by April 07, 2003, 5:00 PM.Flags can help you organize your work in a number of ways. For example, you might add a Flag Status column to your message list and sort that way. Alternately, you could create a search folder that displays all your flagged messages, then clear the flags when you're done, so the search folder contains only messages with upcoming deadlines.If you prefer a simpler way to remind yourself about messages, you can mark them as Important by right-clicking the message, then click Mark Important.
