<p dir="auto">Alan,</p>
<p dir="auto">Is the attachment of the same X-Priority header to an AppleMail, Yahoo Mail, or other commercial server account the same? My Apple Mail app seems to accomplish it OK within my little group of accounts.</p>
<p dir="auto">MM seems to recognize incoming flags of this nature from all senders, on all accounts with no problem.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi Jonah,</p>
<p dir="auto">It's a bit tricky, but here are the basics:</p>
<p dir="auto">First, you'll need to add an X-Priority header option to the composer headers menu. The command to do this is documented here:</p>

<p dir="auto">The composer allows you to enable/disable various headers in the headers menu (far left of the status bar in the composer window). The list of available headers can be augmented as follows:</p>

</code></pre>

<p dir="auto">In this example, an X-Priority header is made available. Giving it a value of 1 is going to make the message a high priority message (at least according to some email clients). Note that this is a really low-level feature. Make sure you know what you are doing before adding non-standard headers to outgoing messages.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">After you do this, you can select the X-Priority header when you want to mark an outgoing message as important. There is no official standard for how this header is used, but generally the values work like this:</p>
<p dir="auto">1: High priority<br>
3: Medium priority<br>
5: Low priority</p>
<p dir="auto">There is also a separate Importance header which is used in some cases, as well as a plain Priority header and one named X-MSMail-Priority. These are all used in various ways by different mail clients and cloud email services.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi Mailmate Group,</p>
<p dir="auto">I have noticed on a few emails incoming from my university outlook email have an “important” exclamation point in the flag column. I’d like to know how to set this message status in a new outgoing email. I wasn’t able to find any mention of this in the manual. I’ve attached a screenshot example of this flag in Mailmate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>
<p dir="auto">Sincerely,<br>
Jonah</p>
