8 Steps to Hide Flagged Emails in To-Do List

We can see both tasks and flagged messages in Outlook Task’s To-Do List. So how can we sift out flagged emails to show tasks only?

To those typically important emails, we can utilize flag to mark it, which is a common feature of all email clients, including Outlook. Initially we tend to flag those messages, which contain assignments to be dealt with, so that we can make clear our tasks. It is owing to the original function that Outlook places all flagged messages in To-Do List. However, with its wide usage, flagging emails doesn’t mean messages with tasks only anymore. People are increasingly accustomed to flag emails due to its particularity, such as its special sender, meaningful subject and so on. Therefore, flagging is given more other meanings.

In this case, if the flagged emails without any tasks are still located in the To-Do List, it will be difficult to figure out our missions. There is no doubt that we need to hide flagged emails to show tasks only in To-Do List. Without disruption of useless emails, we will absolutely improve our work efficiency a lot. Now let’s look at the concrete steps below.
