0How To Change Default Importance Level In Outlook [Tutorial]
Outlook allows you to flag messages you write as being of low, normal or high importance, so the receiving party knows the urgency of the message before opening it. By default, Outlook marks all messages as being of normal importance, but you can adjust the importance level of a single message or change the default level for all messages.
If you frequently email with other Outlook users, then you may have seen a little blue arrow or a red exclamation point show up alongside messages. This indicates an importance level for that message which was set by the sender of the message. Typically the importance level of a message can be changed at the sender’s discretion, on an individual message basis.
But if you wish to change the importance level of every email message that you send, then it can be easier to simply change the default importance level instead. This allows you to send your messages with either Low Importance or High Importance by default, instead of the Normal setting that is used in a standard Outlook installation. Our guide will show you where to find and change this setting.
This tutorial will apply for Microsoft Outlook 2021, 2019, 2013, and 2010 for both Windows (such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, Asus) and macOS (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Mini) devices.
