To change the priority of an outgoing mail message

When you send a new message or reply to a message, you can assign the message a priority so the recipient knows to either look at it right away (High Priority) or read it when time permits (Low Priority). A high priority message has an exclamation point next to it, while low priority is indicated by a down arrow.

• In the New Message window, click the Priority button on the toolbar, and then select the priority you want. Or, click the Message menu, point to Set Priority, and then select a priority option.

Note

• This setting assigns the priority only for the current message.
