Starred Emails
Happy New Year WUSD Staff!
Starting today you'll begin noticing Outlook emails dated after 11/1/18 begin to appear in your Gmail inbox. Since there are still 5 days until Gmail goes live for all WUSD employees, today's tip focuses on clean-up and preparation of your Gmail inbox. Any emails in Outlook marked important with the red exclamation point, transfer into your Gmail inbox as Starred Emails. Starred Emails function the same way as Starred Files or Folders within your Google Drive. It provides an easy way to find those emails you deem important, rather than scrolling or searching through your inbox. It's a new year and you may want to start off anew with starred emails, here's how.
Note: The steps below are also available via video tutorial on the WUSD Tech YouTube Channel Gmail Migration Playlist.
- Visit mail.google.com
- Click on Starred Filter (On the left under Inbox)
- If you have starred emails from a while back that you no longer deem important, you can select all the emails by clicking the checkbox at the top. It will select all the starred emails on the page and may prompt you to select all the conversations.
- If you want to unstar these emails, click the meatballs at the top and choose remove star. Note: Removing the star does not delete the email. Those emails will just no longer appear under the starred filter.
- Once Gmail goes live for All Staff on January 7, you can star important emails for easy access under the Starred Filter.
