Set Message Importance

Changing the importance of a message can let the recipient know the level of importance in their Inbox before they open the message.
 
You can change the Importance of a message by clicking on the ellipsis at the top of the message, hovering the cursor over the Set Importance option and then choosing from High, Normal, or Low.
 
Note: The default will be Normal.
 
When a message is in your inbox, a change in the default importance will be noted by either an exclamation point (High) or a down arrow (Low).
