Flagging a Message for Follow-Up
Messages may not always be responded to,
forwarded, or even fully read when first received. To ensure a message does not
get lost you may flag it. There are several options to choose from, along with
a way to customize, add a reminder, check as complete, and clear flags.
As in other sections of Outlook 2016, there
are several ways to do this. This lesson will cover two methods.
