Starring an email marks it for follow-up so you can come back to it later. This guide shows how to star a message and then filter your search to find every starred email.

Step 1 — Star a message

Click the star icon on a message in the list. The star turns gold to mark the message for follow-up.

Tip: Click the gold star again to remove it once you have followed up.

Step 2 — Open the search filters

Enter a term in the search bar, then click the filter icon at the right of the bar to open the Filters panel.

Step 3 — Filter by Star

Select Star in the Filters panel to narrow the results to your starred messages. You can also filter by Read, Unread, or Attachment.
