Pinning and unpinning email


Introduction

Do you ever lose track of an important message? Maybe throughout the course of the day, you receive so many other messages that it ends up at the bottom of your list. To find it again, you either have to scroll down through all of your messages or use the search field to find it using a keyword. Office 365 has a solution: “pinning”. Once you “pin” a message it will be moved to the top of your email list; it will remain there until you decide to “unpin” it, at which point it will return to its previous slot in your email backlog.

Instructions

  1. Hover your cursor over the message or thread that you would like to pin.
