Me too, I loved this feature on outlook, when they took it out from the email client it was such a shame.
My reason for using it is as follows (for Gary’s benefit). I make Categories using the tag system because they come with a colour. These categories are based on my priority matrix (Important, urgent, not important,not urgent, pending, special, personal) From those categories I want to be able to pin things that I need to refer back to a lot, to the top. For instance:
- an email some one sent me with dates/instructions ( half a year ago)
- left over tasks from last week
- my boss’ last reply (from 3 weeks ago) to something that is no longer in my
matrix - the documents the insurance company sent me 3 months ago in our ongoing and very slow correspondence
- my next most important task from the matrix
Please make pinning possible. It’s a simple feature that makes a big difference for some of us.
