Marking E-Mail messages with flags

Flags are colored markings that you can use to mark different E-Mails for better differentiation: you could, for example, mark all business partners with a green flag, all coworkers in your department with a red flag and all remaining coworkers of the company with a blue flag. The colorful flags enable you to recognize immediately to which type of E-Mail a specific E-Mail belongs.

Flags are displayed in all views - in the List view they are shown in their own column and in the V Split and H Split views they are displayed in the title bar of the E-Mail . The colors of the flags do not have a predetermined meaning in Open-Xchange Server. Thus, you can freely decide what a specific type of flag means for you.

Marking E-Mail messages with flags

If you would like to mark E-Mails from your personal E-Mail folders or from public or other users' shared E-Mail folders (provided you have relevant access rights) with a flag, you need to display the relevant E-Mails in the List, H Split or V Split view first.

Then, select the E-Mails you wish to mark (for multi-selections hold either the Ctrl key or the Shift key) and click on the flag you would like to assign to these E-Mails in the Flag section of the Panel: including the flags from the menu - see the below screenshot - there are ten different flags available to you. Please note that you need relevant access rights for marking E-Mails from public or other users' shared E-Mail folders.

As a result, all selected E-Mails are marked with the selected flag.
