Gmail stars and Outlook

Working with Gmail ‘starred’ messages in Outlook

If you have used Gmail then you must be aware of the “Starred folder” (shown within the red circle in the below screenshot).

In Gmail Stars are meant to give messages a special status to make them find easier when you search for particular mails.

In Outlook instead of star, Flag is used although both are meant for the same purpose and perform the same functionality.

When you star a message in Gmail it appears as flag in Outlook and vice versa.
