flag email being sent as important

[Debi]

I am sending an email that is urgent it be read right away. Is there a way
to mark an outgoing email as urgent, read at once? or something like that.

....by the way, if it's really urgent you should follow-up with a phone call.
Don't rely upon e-mail alone for urgent messages.

Hi,

I understand that by flagging an email, it would be sent to the "followup"
folder which is convenient and good. But I notice for the emails that i send
out, and if I flag it, it does not go to the "followup" folder, not even for
incoming emails with a flag. how can i do make this happen?

thanks for that.

i tried what you suggested. but what i want is different.

for example:

i write an email to Terence and right before i hit "send" i flag the email
red coz i want to followup to this email.

after i hit on send, the email would not appear on my "follow up" folder as
a flagged email. i would like that to happen, how so i make sure? i know the
mtore troublesome way is to go to sent folder and flag that specific email
again manually and this time, it will go to the follow up folder. but i would
like to know if there is a setting that allows it to automatically be sent to
follow up folder.
