Flagging messages for follow-up
You can mark a mail message with a flag icon to indicate that the message requires follow-up action.

Flagging messages places them in the Follow Up view and in the Follow Up miniview, which you can keep open in the mail navigation pane so that you can maintain an awareness of those messages.

You can set these follow-up preferences: the default priority flag, a default follow-up date and time, and a default alarm for flagged messages.

Note: If you give another person at least Editor access to your mail application, that person can flag messages in your mail for follow-up.
