Example

To run this example without errors, make sure the Test folder exists in the default Inbox folder and replace 'someone@example.com' with a valid sender e-mail address in the Test folder.

Sub SetFlagIcon() 
 
 Dim mpfInbox As Outlook.Folder 
 
 Dim obj As Outlook.MailItem 
 
 Dim i As Integer 
 
 
 
 Set mpfInbox = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Test") 
 
 ' Loop all items in the Inbox\Test Folder 
 
 For i = 1 To mpfInbox.Items.Count 
 
 If mpfInbox.Items(i).Class = olMail Then 
 
 Set obj = mpfInbox.Items.Item(i) 
 
 If obj.SenderEmailAddress = "someone@example.com" Then 
 
 'Set the yellow flag icon 
 
 obj.FlagIcon = olYellowFlagIcon 
 
 obj.Save 
 
 End If 
 
 End If 
 
 Next 
 
End Sub
