Flag button on the toolbar is greyed out
I simply want to be able to flag my messages and have them show up in the
"unread mail" and "for follow up" folders. after much searching I found the flag button but it is greyed out and there seems to be no way to turn it on. Can anyone help with this matter? I am using outlook 2003 Thank you |

"Unread mail" is not a real folder. It just shows unread mail in other
folders. Flag the messages in the Inbox instead. You can right click on a message and mark it as "Unread" if you want.

Does Right-clickFollow Up not work? I didn't know about the right click thing. Yes it works when the flag button is active. I found out on my own why its greyed out. It seems you can not flag a message when the messages reside on hotmails' server (While they are in the folder "Inbox in Hotmail"). I have to first downdload to my local Inbox then flagging is active. What a pain it is that I be forced to dl before reviewing. Thanks for the answer Bro |

We would have been able to tell you what it was immediately had you included your account type in the original post. -- Brian Tillman |
