Flag or pin a message in Outlook.com

To remind yourself to follow up on a message, you can add a follow-up flag. A flag gives you a visual cue that you want to return to that message later. In the message list, flagged items display the Flag symbol.

Pinning a message moves it to the top of your inbox so it's easy to find later. A pinned message is indicated by a Unpin symbol.

  1. In the message list, hover over the message to see the flag option.
