How to Flag a Message for Follow-Up in Yahoo Mail

If you can't deal with a new message in Yahoo Mail immediately, you can "star" it, or flag it, so that you don't forget to follow up later. Even if you remove the message from your inbox, it will remain in your Starred folder.

To flag an email in your Yahoo Mail inbox, select the star beside the subject line.

To view your flagged message, select Starred from the left side of Yahoo Mail.

Alternatively, you can flag a message while viewing it using Yahoo Mail keyboard shortcuts. To star a message you're currently viewing, press the L key.

In the mobile version of Yahoo Mail, you cannot star messages from your inbox. You must first select the message to view it, then tap the star in the upper-right corner.

In Yahoo Mail Basic, you can star messages from your inbox; however, there is no option to view all of your starred messages.
