Mark For Follow-Up in TB?
|
|
|
| I'm using Outlook atm for my email and the best function in it is the
ability to mark emails for follow-up with coloured flags and to be able
to list these in a panel for viewing and actioning at a later date.
Is there any way to replicate that in TB as I'm thinking of changing to
it for email as well as News but I use that facility too much to give it up!

I don't know if this is what you want, but try clicking on
Message, Tag. Will will tag the messages to whatever you
want. You can also hit the numbers zero to five. You can
also customize those colors and even add more tags.
Then, in the headers/thread pane [thats the one that has
subject, date, sender, etc], if you look to the far right,
there is a gismo that looks like a bent arrow. Its right
above the scrollbar. If you click on that, you will get a
list of other columns you can add. Click on Tag. Now, when
you tag something, lets say with Important, then not only
will that message be highlighted in red, but in the Tag
column you will now see the word Important.

Thanks....that sounds very similar to the way Outlook works. Is it
possible to display tagged messages only from the "Folders" menu or do I
have to do a filter?

"Folders" menu? What folders menu? You can sort them by
clicking on the Tag column.

Maybe my terminology is wrong? I probably should have said Folder list.
In my set up it's in the left hand side of the screen contains the Inbox
etc.
The reason I'm asking is that in Outlook there is an option to display a
"Follow-Up" list direct from that menu without having to sort the Inbox.
The emails can be pre-filtered into a variety of folders in advance and
when they are unflagged as completed they disappear of the "Follow-Up"
list and remain in their folder.
This is why I find the option so useful in Outlook and why I would miss
it so much in TB if it can't do it. Maybe I need to play around a little
more?
