How to Change a Message's Priority in Windows Mail or Outlook Express

Change a Message's Priority in Windows Mail or Outlook Express

To set the priority of a message you compose in Windows Mail or Outlook Express:

• Use the Set Priority toolbar button.
  • It shows an arrow pointing down and an exclamation mark.
• Clicking the button itself will toggle between normal, high and low priority.
  • Alternatively, use the button's drop-down menu.
  • Select from it High, Normal or Low Priority.

If you prefer the menu or do not have the button in your toolbar, select Message | Set Priority from the Windows Mail or Outlook Express message composition window menu and then your desired message priority.
