Create a tag

You can use tags to categorize and organize your email messages, conversations, documents, and calendars. For instance, you can have a tag for "Urgent Priority" and another for "Medium Priority".

You can tag for tasks or a project tag to sort emails, and you can search for all items with a particular tag. You can also apply multiple tags to an item.

You can create as many tags as you want, assign them colors, and then apply them to anything in VNCmail — emails, documents, and calendar events.
