Using tags to classify messages and contacts

Tags are your personal classification system for mail messages, contacts, tasks, and appointments.  Using tags is an aid to finding those items. For example, you might have one tag for Immediate Turnaround and another for Medium Priority. The mail messages that are tagged can be in different folders. You can search for a tag and all messages with that tag are displayed, no matter which folder they are in.

Creating new tag definitions

You can access the New Tag feature in any of the following ways:

When the New Tag dialog appears. Enter a name and click OK. Tag names can have any character except the following

 : (colon)

/ (forward slash)

" (double quotes)

The new tag is listed under Tags in the Overview pane and can be applied to any mail messages or contacts.
