#8 Star your important emails

With huge number of mails making their way into your Gmail inbox, it is often a grueling task to find the one which are important. It could be like finding a needle in stack of needles. To answer the issue Gmail has come up with the “Star” system where you can star the important mails. The default “Star” color is Yellow but you can upgrade to add a selection of colors.

To do this go to the Gear box > Settings > Stars. You can add in different coloured stars, for 1*, 2* and so on. If you make 2* red, then when you go back to your inbox and star a message it will still go yellow for 1*. But then, you can click for a second time and it will turn red! Keep going so you can add in a selection of colours and then search your inbox for coloured stars later. If you want to search for 2* messages that are red, go to the search bar and type in: has:red-star, this will bring up any emails with red stars on them.
