Starred definition in gmail

In Gmail, a "starred" message is a way to mark a specific email as important or notable. When you star an email, it is flagged with a yellow star icon () and is moved to a separate section at the top of your inbox, making it easy to find later.

Here are some ways you can use starred messages in Gmail:

  1. Mark important emails: Star important emails that require your attention or action, so you can easily find them later.
  2. Create a to-do list: Star emails that need to be followed up on or completed, and use the starred section as a to-do list.
  3. Organize your inbox: Star emails that belong to a specific project or topic, and use the starred section to organize your inbox by theme.
  4. Search and filter: Use the starred label to search for and filter emails that have been marked as important.
  5. Prioritize: Star emails that require immediate attention, and use the starred section to prioritize your tasks.

To star an email in Gmail:

  1. Open the email you want to star.
  2. Click the star icon () in the top right corner of the email.
  3. Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut "s" to star an email.

To view your starred emails:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab.
  3. Look for the "Starred" section at the top of the page.
  4. Click on the "Starred" tab to view all your starred emails.

Note that starred emails are only visible in the "Starred" section and are not visible in the regular inbox.
