Pin important emails to top of a folder
In Outlook, there is no way to pin specific emails to the top of a folder in the mailing list. However, you can display important emails in the To Do bar instead.
- In Email view, right-click the email you want to pin, then click "Follow Up" > "No Date".
- Repeat this step to flag all important emails one by one.
- Go to the Task view, then click "View" > "To-Do Bar" > "Tasks" to enable the "To Do" bar.
Now all flagged important emails are shown at the top of the "To Do" bar on the right pane. You can double-click a task to open the corresponding message.
