Take a look at the message in your Inbox: Say your boss sends you an email on Tuesday that says, “Do a search for any judgments on file for XYZ Corporation for Friday’s real estate closing.” You’re busy with another project, but you want to make sure you get your search results delivered in time.
Let’s start with an easy one: flagging an email in your Inbox for follow-up or other action. Here’s just about the simplest way for a busy person like you to manage all this: flagging incoming and outgoing emails for follow-up.

After all, as easy as it is to send someone an email, it’s just that easy for both sender and receiver to forget it’s there.

You can just type up a quick little message to someone to send them some information or answer a question or ask them to do something for you.
