How to add a follow-up folder to favorites in Outlook?
If you often flag 
email messages to remind yourself to follow up on them later, finding these flagged emails among numerous others can be challenging. A practical solution in Outlook is to create and add a virtual "For Follow Up" folder to the navigation pane. This allows you to conveniently view all flagged email messages in one place, simplifying your email management and ensuring you don’t miss important follow-ups.

This article is an easy tutorial to show you how to add a For Follow Up folder in Navigation Pane in Outlook and show the folder in favorites as well.
Step 1: Shift to the Mail view by clicking the Mail in the Navigation Pane.
Step 2: Create a new search folder:
Click the New Search Folder button in the New group on the Folder tab.
It is also available to click the Search Folder > New Search Folder in the Navigation Pane. This method works fine in Outlook 2007, 2010, and 2013.
Step 3: In the New Search Folder dialog box, select and highlight the Mail flagged for follow up item in the Select a Search Folder: box.
Step 4: Click the OK button.
Now a new search folder of For Follow Up is added in the Navigation Pane, which will collect all flagged email messages automatically.
Step 4: Right-click the For Follow Up folder in the Navigation Pane, and then click the Show in Favorites item in the right-click menu.
Up to now, the For Follow Up folder has been added to your favorites at the top of the Navigation Pane in Microsoft Outlook.
In the For Follow Up folder, you will view all email messages with flags you marked before. Once you clear the flag mark in an email message, the message will disappear from the For Follow Up folder automatically.
