If you cannot deal with an email in your Zoho Mail inbox now, you can just let it sit, of course; you could also flag it, though, to make it stand out as a reminder. Speaking of reminders, Zoho Mail will offer to create a new task (and due date) to keep you on track — and track of the message flagged for follow-up. It's easy.
Flag a Message for Follow-Up in Zoho Mail
To flag an email for later in Zoho Mail and, optionally, create a follow-up task in Zoho Tasks:
- Click the flag in the message list or the message's header area (right in front of the sender) with the right mouse button (or hold down Ctrl while clicking on a Mac).
- Select Follow-up from the menu that comes up.
- To also set up a task for actions associated with the message:
- Click OK when you are asked Do you want to associate a follow-up task for this email?.
- Enter a target date for acting on the email under Due date.
- Change the item's title from the email's subject under Title if you like.
- Pick an importance under Priority.
- Optionally, add any notes or additional comments under Description.
- To be reminded of your email task in your browser and per email, make sure Remind is checked and pick a date and time under On.
- Click Add Task.
To flag more than one message for follow-up in Zoho Mail (without creating tasks in Zoho Tasks):
- Check all desired emails in the view or folder.
- Click Mark As in the toolbar.
- Select Follow-up from the menu that comes up.
