How to mark mail as important in gmail when compose

When composing an email in Gmail, you can mark it as important by following these steps:

  1. Compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
  2. Click on the three vertical dots at the bottom right corner of the compose window.

Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut:

This will mark the email as important and add a red exclamation mark () to the subject line.

Note that marking an email as important in Gmail does not automatically move it to a specific folder or label. It simply adds a visual indicator to the subject line to help you quickly identify important emails.

Also, if you want to mark multiple emails as important at once, you can select the emails in the inbox, right-click on them, and select "Mark as important" from the context menu.
